Hay crops, pastures ‘bone dry’ in many areas

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Tim Stewart is trying to plan his next move.

Searing hot weather and months without significant moisture have left his hay crops and pastures bone dry.

“We’re stuck in a pretty tough spot,” said the cattle producer who lives west of Rockglen, Sask.

“The price of hay is awfully high so it’s pretty near impossible to buy without going broke. And of course the price of barley snuck up 25 percent.”

Rain has fallen erratically throughout the province, but producers in the south especially are bearing the brunt of high heat and SEE DRYING UP, PAGE 4

Variable crop quality between northern and southern regions expected to cause headaches for grain companies

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers and grain companies are preparing for a prolonged harvest and a below-average crop.

Provincial specialists are forecasting smaller than usual crops in Alberta and Saskatchewan because of hot and dry conditions.

That is a view shared by the Western Grain Elevator Association, which is forecasting a 60 million tonne harvest in Western Canada, down from the previous five-year average of 67 million tonnes.

“(It) is still a fairly large crop,” said executive director Wade Sobkowich, who noted that Manitoba’s crops are looking good for the most part.

The association had been forecasting 65 to 67 million tonnes a couple of months ago before unusually hot and dry conditions sapped yields.

Quality is expected to be good in the southern portion of the Prairies where it has been dry and then deteriorate as the harvest moves north into the wetter areas.

Harvest will be about two weeks early in the south and two weeks

late in the north, so it will be a long, drawn-out process this year.

“Last year we also had an extended harvest, so we’ve had some recent experience,” said Sobkowich. “ The main issue isn’t the length of time it takes to get the crop off the field but the variation in quality.”

Grain companies are going to have to be careful to meet but not exceed customer grade specifications with the better quality, early-harvested wheat SEE SMALLER HARVEST, PAGE 5

SOUTH-CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN

‘This is what they mean by dry land farming’ Farmers amazed crops doing as well as they are in searing heat, dryness

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Never, it seems, have a few tenths of rain made so many people so happy.

Aug. 1 brought as much as seventenths, about 18 millimetres, to parts of southwestern and southcentral Saskatchewan, sending people to social media with photographs and comments of relief.

The first decent rain in more than a month still won’t be enough to help crops, and it didn’t fall everywhere in the parched region, where recollections of 1961 and 1988 have been regular conversation.

Environment Canada said July 2017 was the driest on record for Moose Jaw, at 4.3 millimetres, and the driest in 130 years for Regina, which received 1.8 mm compared to 1.5 mm in 1887.

Coupled with the searing heat — Swift Current recorded 14 days at 30 C or higher — and it’s a wonder there are crops to harvest.

“It’s surprising how the crop has hung on,” said Jerome Tremblay, who farms near Courval.

“I guess this is what they mean by dry land farming.”

The lack of rain has resulted in short, thin crops. Combining has begun in the region and yields won’t be great.

“There’s the odd pocket (of good crops),” said Scott Hepworth, who farms near Assiniboia.

“But there will be below average yields. Everyone’s holding on to see what durum test weights will be.”

Lee Fortin, who farms 5,500 acres with his brother south of Moose Jaw in the Ardill and Mitchellton districts, said he expects his pulse yields will be half of last year and canola will be one-third.

“I’ve heard some reports of lentils sub 10-bushels (per acre),” he said.

“It’s not very good.”

A semi, combine, cart and service truck are coming and going on the Bruce and Eleanor Durie farm between Moose Jaw and Belle Plaine, Sask.

Lentil harvest began Aug. 1. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO The Fortins have already sold a standing fall rye crop that deteriorated after flowering to a local livestock producer for feed. He said that was a win-win because cattle producers are facing feed shortages for the coming winter.

Provincial Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said Aug. 3 that canola will be the biggest disappointment.

“I think I kind of have a rough handle on what it will look like and that is that canola is probably the hardest hit of the crops,” he told reporters.

“It’s surprising it’s as good as it is, but I think it’s maybe half a crop.”

That said, Stewart noted that crops in central Saskatchewan are in pretty good shape and no one really knows until the crop comes off.

Tremblay said he has been farming 44 years and has never seen it this dry. He hadn’t started combining yet, but expects yields will be all over the map, and har vesting unusually short crops, especially lentils, will be a challenge.

His wheat is about 60 centimetres tall, and he said he is thinking of double swathing it.

“We’re glad to get the half-inch of rain just for the pasture now,” he said Aug. 2.

Especially when you see a crop start off real good and look beautiful, then go downhill, that’s hard.

LYLE STEWART AG MINISTER, SASK. FARMER

Hepworth said he was happy to see the south can still get rain after a summer that saw heat, hail, wind and extreme fire risk.

“Most of the crops are on the ground, including the canola,” he said, referring to their height.

He also hadn’t started harvest last week, but said he had heard reports of large green lentils yielding in the

10 to 20 bushel range and quality that “hasn’t been real pretty.”

After seeding lentils into the mud, he said it’s hard to imagine how dry it got.

“We were pretty naive in thinking we only needed a couple inches of moisture,” Hepworth said.

The dry was good for one thing: it eliminated disease risk.

Fortin said he would typically apply fungicide to his chickpeas four or five times.

“My fungicide bill is reduced by 75 percent,” he said.

He also saw the bright side of a reduced fire risk through harvest and potential price increases.

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. has moved adjusters into the south to accommodate producers who want to cut their crops for feed. Crops must be adjusted first before put to an alternative use.

Stewart reminded farmers that the Farm Stress Line is available.

Calls to the line in July numbered 59, which is higher than usual. The

largest volume in 2016 was recorded during September at 40 calls.

He said there is more than just the financial stress of a bad crop in which farmers have invested a lot of money and time.

“Farmers just don’t want to grow poor crops. It’s a thing with us farmers,” said Stewart, whose own crops are on the edge of a crop insurance claim.

“Especially when you see a crop start off real good and look beautiful, then go downhill, that’s hard.

Please, if you’re not feeling good about things, call the stress line.”

Other measures the government has taken include making fish and wildlife land available for pasture and hay, extending the deadline for the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 and evaluating the possibility of deferring principal loan payments on eligible loans under the Livestock Loan Guarantee Program. karen.briere@producer.com

INTERNATIONAL SUBSIDIES

Canada urged to go on trade offensive over subsidies

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Hitting back should be an important part of dealing with Canada’s tricky agricultural competitors in negotiations, says a new report.

Foreign competitors have been clever in appearing to abandon trade-distorting subsidies but have actually done little to minimize their actual production-distorting farm support spending.

“Clearly, some of our competitors and many of our customers offer significant income support to their producers beyond what they receive from the market,” Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute paspresident Ted Bilyea said in the introduction to the report.

“Many of the countries to which Canada exports are structurally uncompetitive yet have policies to promote self-sufficiency.”

CAPI is a federal government cre-

ated organization backed by a number of provincial governments and involving private sector agricultural players.

TED BILYEA CANADIAN AGRI-FOOD POLICY INSTITUTE

It has been highlighting the sins of foreign competitors in recent years, suggesting that “shifting from defence to offence” should be an important part of both increasing Canada’s export trade opportunities for free market industries and defending the trade distor-

tions of its supply management system for dairy.

It reiterates that call in the Understanding Agricultural Support report.

“In dair y, Canada has been pressed to defend changes to elements of its dairy policy. Understanding the nature and effects of (European Union) support for dairy could open an offensive dimension for Canada in its broader strategy for dairy policy, especially as (the Canada-EU trade deal) comes into force,” said the report.

“It is striking that while the (U.S.) dairy industry has received lower direct support payments under programming in place since 2014, milk production in the U.S. is rising during a period of lower prices for dairy products.… What is remarkable about the sharp decline in support notified to the (World Trade Organization) for dairy by the U.S. is how little actually

changed (in terms of government support for U.S. dairy production.)

“The U.S. is expected to press Canada on its dairy policy during renegotiations of NAFTA or otherwise. An analysis of U.S. dairy policy could form an element of an offensive strategy for Canada with the U.S.” The report openly solicits support from potential partners for additional research.

The report targets distortions created by three major players: the EU, the U.S. and China. In each, the report argued, apparent attempts to reduce production-boosting subsidies have mostly just shifted the spending to defensible categories that don’t run afoul of trade agreements but still cause overproduction.

That overproduction would not occur without the government spending, the report suggested.

These subsidies include: • EU support for beef and dairy

production that supplies almost all the net income those producers receive.

• U.S. subsidies for crop insurance at levels that promote overproduction.

• Chinese crop stock programs that support domestic prices for farmers.

The report also highlighted what it describes as unsustainable environmental practices encouraged

by EU, U.S. and Chinese governments, including “water-mining of aquifers.”

It said Canada’s “natural capital is an asset” and is being depleted at a low rate. However, the unsustainable depletion in other countries is harming Canada’s export competitiveness.

The report received “generous support” from the Ontario government and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. ed.white@producer.com

DRYING UP

PREPPING SILAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 lack of moisture. Many areas have received less than 73 millimetres of rain since April.

Stewart said his new hay is yielding a dismal 1,500 pounds per acre and everything else was between 500 and 700 lb. per acre.

As a result, he’s been setting up temporary fences to more tightly manage his cattle grazing and he plans to soon supplement his pastures with grain or pellets.

As well, Stewart plans to join other producers in the southeastern and southwestern regions who will attempt to sell cattle quickly to reduce feed demands.

“We’re going to try and place some someplace. We’re going to try and get our calves off as quick as possible, as quick as they’ll take them,” he said.

In one way, Stewart is luckier than some other producers in the area.

He has hay left over from last year, which he will stretch to make last as long as possible.

Ryan Beierbach of Whitewood, Sask., in the southeast, has already bought some hay and expects many producers are in a similar position.

“The hay is really poor. About half of normal right now. Definitely guys will be short of hay,” said Beierbach, president of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association.

He said many livestock producers are heading into winter with leftovers from last year’s hay bounty, but not enough to make it through.

He said although southern Saskatchewan cattle producers will raise their bids for local hay, the U.S. drought has made the competition tougher. Many American producers are expected to look north for their feed needs.

“It’s a fairly big area once you get south of here that’s dry, so it’s probably closer for them to go north than to go south looking for hay. From what I’ve heard, cattle producers in Montana have a subsidy that their government is paying them. So that makes it pretty easy for them to pay more for hay,” Beierbach said.

In a news conference Aug. 3, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said cattle producers should not expect programs to subsidize the cost of transporting hay.

“We found that those things do more harm than good. They actually just increase the price of hay by the amount of the subsidy and that’s not helpful in this situation.

The price of hay is going to be plenty high,” he said.

“It means some people will have to sell cattle, sell breeding stock that they wouldn’t have normally sold.”

He said the province has asked Ottawa to allow income tax deferrals on cattle sold prematurely because of the feed shortage. That would allow producers to carry money from the sales into next year, which allows them to average their incomes and avoid a big income tax charge this year. A high income tax bill could seriously add to the hurt producers in the worst-hit regions are already feeling, he said.

Beierbach said it’s not yet a panic situation for most cattle producers.

This year’s harvest could solve some of their problems.

“A lot of things can happen that will turn good quality grain into feedgrain and if that happens that means there’ll be feed around,” he said.

“It’s a wait and see. Really, until we get to September, we won’t know how bad it is or how short of feed guys are going to be.”

Diamondback moths pressure canola growers Infestations reported from Calgary to Winnipeg, prompting calls for close field monitoring

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Diamondback moths are the big story in canola of late, says Canola Council of Canada agronomy specialist Keith Gabert.

He said Aug. 4 that farmer queries about the pesky insects have dominated his voice mail in recent days, and problems have been reported from Calgary to Winnipeg.

“We’re reminding (farmers) that there’s no better way to check for them other than pulling a square foot of plants and banging them on a flat surface and determining the numbers … and more importantly, looking at their fields to see what kind of feeding damage is there.”

Sampling a few different parts of the field is recommended, taking a random approach rather than pulling up plants with obvious damage. Sweep nets are unlikely to give an accurate sense of larvae numbers.

The spraying threshold is 20 to 30 larvae per sq. foot, or 200 to 300 per sq. metre, said Gabert.

Initial infestation is wind-borne, so hot spots and spotty infestation are typical of the pest. Gabert said he checked fields within 15

kilometres of fields where heavy infestation has been reported and found low levels of larvae.

“There will be localized hot spots, but it’s a matter of checking

individual fields,” he said.

“It’s a really tiny worm, about h a l f a n i n c h l o n g , g re e n i n colour. It will eat as long as it’s capable of feeding.

“I use the phrase, ‘it’s got to be as dry as cardboard to stop them from eating.’ In the far south, that might be happening relatively soon, but as far as I understand, most of the canola is still in that window of being at risk.”

Farmers should examine the lower leaves in the canola canopy to see if there are signs of feeding.

Once the lower leaves are consumed, the larvae move up the plant to munch on harvestable canola seed in the pods.

Gabert said biological controls that sometimes help control the moths and larvae have been less effective this year.

Diamondbacks arrived early on the Prairies and thrived in the hot, dry weather that has permeated much of the region this summer. Some areas have already seen two generations of larvae, and a third looks likely.

Heat has sped maturity of some canola crops, so Gabert cautioned farmers to note the preharvest intervals if they do spray for diamondbacks.

The canola council estimates the cost of spraying at $15 to $25 per acre. barb.glen@producer.com

Federal funding to help Canadian dairy producers prepare for CETA Program earmarks funds to increase dairy farm efficiency, productivity

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Klaas Vanderveen is glad that details released Aug. 1 for the $250 million federal Dairy Farm Investment Program include funds for projects retroactive to November 2016.

He began two months ago to install automated milkers at his dairy near Picture Butte, Alta. If his project qualifies for funding, the government could cover costs up to a maximum of $250,000.

As a director on both the Dairy Farmers of Canada and Alberta Milk boards, Vanderveen’s interest is not just personal, however. The funding is available over a five-year period to any cow milk operation in Canada that qualifies by undertaking projects to increase efficiency or productivity.

“This funding will help in that, and this will also help us compete with the heavily subsidized products that are coming in from Europe. It’s not seen as a subsidy.

It’s a program that everybody has to qualify for in order to receive that funding,” said Vanderveen.

“The government gave up a growth area with the specialty cheeses (via CETA). We have to be able to manage that loss.”

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay committed $350 million for the dairy industry last November to help it prepare for increased imports of European cheese as negotiated

The government gave up a growth area with the specialty cheeses (via CETA). We have to be able to manage that loss.

KLAAS VANDERVEEN DAIRY FARMERS OF CANADA

in the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.

Once in full force, CETA will allow Europe to export some 16,000 tonnes of specialty cheeses to Canada.

Last week MacAulay announced the details of the programs, which will see $250 million over five years earmarked for dairy farm investment and $100 million over four years for investments in the dairy processing sector.

Eligible dairy farm projects might include automated milkers and feeding systems, herd management investment and barn equipment. The processing funds could involve new equipment, infrastructure or processing lines that allow introduction of new cheese varieties.

“These two programs will assist Canada’s dairy producers and processors to prepare for CETA implementation within a strong supply

management system,” MacAulay said in his announcement.

There are about 12,000 dairy farms in Canada. Mike Southwood, general manager of Alberta Milk, said sufficiency of those funds will depend on how many producers undertake projects that qualify.

“We’re fairly comfortable with the amount per farm, up to $250,000,” he said.

“That goes a long ways toward some of the bigger projects that producers take on, so I think on a farm basis it seems good.”

Farmers who apply for funds will have to meet certain criteria.

“I think you’ll have to demonstrate how competitiveness will change on your farm, or cost efficiencies … will happen on your farm, whether it’s reduced labour costs or increased cow productivity or something,” said Southwood.

“I think it will help farms do that.

We’re hopeful that it will, for sure.

“Farms in the dairy industry in Canada have always been fairly active in trying to pursue increased competitiveness. You look at cow productivity, you look at feeding efficiencies, all those things are always trending upwards.”

Dairy Farmers of Manitoba chair David Wiens, who is also Dairy Farmers of Canada vicechair, said the program appears to have a wide range of project eligibility.

“I believe that the program will be useful as a transition program.”

Wiens said smaller scale projects will have a cap of $60,000 in government funding, while larger ones will have the $250,000 limit.

Wi e n s s a i d t h e i n c re a s e d import quota of European cheese will begin in September and amounts will be phased in over time to the agreed maximum.

The transition program was announced at the same time as new tariff rate quotas for 18 million kilograms of European cheeses.

Wiens said the DFC would have preferred greater allocation be given to Canadian cheese makers so they could import cheeses not already available in Canada. As it is, half the allocation went to distributors and retailers.

President Jacques Lefebvre had strong words about the allocation.

“It is clear that only the dairy sector is impacted negatively by this, yet the government has chosen to offer a significant portion of these licenses to retailers,” he said in a news release.

“It is incumbent on the government to explain its logic to the 80,000 Canadian families that depend on our sector for their livelihood. Any import license going to retailers equates to handing over the whole supply chain, from import, through distribution and retailing to the retailers. How is it in the best interest of Canadian consumers?” barb.glen@producer.com

SMALLER HARVEST » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 and durum so they can save some of it for blending with poorer quality, late-harvested crop.

Mark Cutts, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said peas and winter wheat were being harvested in the south last week, which is about two weeks ahead of normal.

Some fields in central Alberta are also further along than usual, but it’s a different story in the north and Peace region, where many fields are two weeks behind.

“Those fields that were seeded late are going to need all the season they can get,” he said.

He believes yields will be below average, especially if farmers in the north and Peace region are unable to escape frost or snow.

Cutts expects good quality and high protein in the south and poorer quality in the north.

Todd Lewis, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said the pulse crop harvest was in full swing last week in the south.

“It’s at least two weeks ahead of normal, maybe three,” he said.

Lewis said most farmers will take a harvest day in August as opposed to November, but an early crop usually means lower yields.

“Hopefully what we’ve lost in quantity here we’re going to make up a little bit on quality,” he said.

Shannon Friesen, acting cropping management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said some crops are just coming out of flowering in the north, where a late start to the year has them behind schedule, although the heat has helped them catch up a bit.

Crops in the south should avoid frost and harvest rains and there hasn’t been much disease, so quality is expected to be good.

“Producers are looking forward to at least getting it into the bin prior to any quality issues we may have,” she said.

Friesen is forecasting below average yields for the province because the good crops in the north are unable to fully compensate for the poor crops south of the TransCanada Highway.

Ann Kirk, cereals specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, is not anticipating an extended harvest in that province.

“I wouldn’t say it’s abnormal. We aren’t seeing any big differences in harvest time,” she said.

It has been hot and dry in southwestern, central and parts of northwestern Manitoba, causing premature ripening and potential yield loss.

However, the eastern and Interlake regions have experienced closer to normal precipitation.

Kirk had no yield estimate for the province.

“In general things are looking good, but in some of those dry areas we would clearly expect to see some yield losses,” she said.

She is anticipating good quality for the major ity of the crops because a lot of the province has received less than 60 percent of normal precipitation, which has kept disease at bay. “ We ’ v e s e e n l o w l e v e l s o f fusarium in the fields,” said Kirk. sean.pratt@producer.com

PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Canola forecasts wide ranging Drought takes toll in the south but prospects are good in the north if frost holds off

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There is a wide disparity in production estimates for the 2017 canola crop.

Larry Weber of Weber Commodities forecasts a Canadian harvest of 16.8 million tonnes, although he believes it could easily be lower than that.

Derek Squair, director of merchandising with Providence Grain, is leaning toward the high end of his range of 18.5 to 19.7 million tonnes.

“There is really good crop in Alberta, really good crop in northern Saskatchewan and really good crop in Manitoba,” he said.

The exception is a horseshoe shaped area south of Davidson, Sask.

The difference between the two estimates amounts to nearly three million tonnes, which speaks to the extreme variability in this year’s crop conditions.

Based on comments from provincial crop specialists, the lower estimate appears to be more likely at this point.

Mark Cutts, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said it is difficult to assign an average yield to the 2017 crop because there is no such thing as average this year.

However, his best guess is that yields will be below normal.

“We’ve got such variations in moisture, seeding time and growth stages that it’s a little difficult to come up with a percentage of what we might be down,” he said.

It has been hot and dry in the south, which will likely result in poor yields.

There are some nice crops in central Alberta.

“Barring anything unfortunate happening weather-wise, I think those should work out OK,” said Cutts.

The outcome in northern Alberta and the Peace region will depend on whether farmers get an open fall to harvest a late-seeded crop.

“If they do there is certainly potential there for a decent crop, I think. But if they don’t, it will certainly have significant impact on overall yield for Alberta,” he said.

Shannon Friesen, acting cropping management specialist with Sa s k at c h e w a n A g r i c u l t u re, expects yields to be down in that province.

She forecasts a 29 to 30 bushel per acre crop average, down from the usual 33 to 34 bu.

Most of the canola was at full flowering when the province experienced a heat wave that caused heat blasting in many fields.

Friesen expects below normal yields in southern Saskatchewan and average to above average yields in the north.

Todd Lewis, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said anything south of the Trans-Canada Highway is in bad shape.

“I really haven’t talked to anybody who is talking about an average crop. Words like ‘half a crop’ are not uncommon,” he said.

There are good crops in the middle portion of the province but they are late, so fall weather will be a factor.

He is curious how some of the new hybrids will perform because they haven’t experienced a true

drought year like this one in the south.

Anastasia Kubinek, manager of crop industry development with Manitoba Agriculture, expects an average yield of 35 to 38 bu. per acre, which is typical for the province.

However, it is a mixed bag of results, depending on the region.

Pockets of western Manitoba will see disappointing yields because it was hot and dry during final filling.

The crop will be average to better than average in the central, eastern and Interlake regions.

“They’ve actually had a little bit of rain or they’ve had some heavy dews and good subsurface moisture,” she said.

Crops are excellent in the Swan River region but non-existent in the northern portion of western Manitoba, where 10 percent of intended canola acres were planted and then got hailed on.

Kubinek is anticipating exceptional quality because of the dry weather and lack of disease. sean.pratt@producer.com

Questions remain about Western Canada’s malting barley crop, but many analysts appear to expect at least an adequate harvest.

Quality concerns and yield reductions will hit farmers in southern areas, but for those with good quality, prices should remain steady for the medium term.

While analysts cautioned that forecasts can still change depending on the coming harvest, current supply-demand fundamentals point to strong prices.

Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather with Glacier FarmMedia, said with seeded barley area at 10 percent less than 2016, volumes were set up to be tight heading into this growing season. Since then, dry weather has compounded the situation.

“I think probably the biggest concern that the maltsters have is how this dryness has affected some of the malting attributes,” he said.

In addition to yield reductions in the dry southern parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, higher protein content is also expected because it normally goes hand-in-hand with dry conditions.

Maltsters typically want barley with 11.5 percent protein or less, and that may become difficult to find as the crop comes off the combine.

Maltsters are able to adjust somewhat by talking to their clients and tweaking recipes, but limited supplies of lower protein malt barley could spark more competitive pricing. However, much depends on the quality of the crop now starting to be harvested.

“The way I look at it is, we’ve maybe got half of the puzzle here; where we know production is going to be down so supplies are going to be tight from that. But the second half is how the harvest weather will treat us here,” Burnett said.

FERTILIZER OUTLOOK

Nitrogen cheapest in years, but low might be in PotashCorp says new U.S. production should pressure prices lower

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Nitrogen fertilizer prices have bottomed out, according to one of the world’s largest manufacturers.

Jochen Tilk, president of PotashCorp, told investment analysts during the company’s second quarter earnings conference call that a low point in the market has been reached.

He said the “challenging price environment” will continue to weigh on PotashCorp margins for the balance of 2017 and then there will be a turnaround.

“We anticipate market conditions will begin to improve in 2018 as capacity additions decline, highcost capacity is rationalized and trade flows adjust,” said Tilk.

He said ammonia prices are below the cost of production for a lot of manufacturers.

“You have to assume it’s the low point because it’s not sustainable,” said Tilk.

“People have higher production costs in some parts of the world and they can’t continue, and that would lead to an increase.”

Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, bought “a bunch” of liquid nitrogen

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Kevin Sich, supply chain director at Rahr Malting in Alix, Alta., said although there are areas where the crop is facing heat stress, he expects that the overall barley crop will be adequate.

He said prices have settled in lately at about $5.50 per bushel, but like other maltsters, Rahr is not currently buying.

There’s by no means any reason to push the big red panic button. Overall, I think if you have quality malt barley this year, there is going to be a market for it. There is reduced acres, there’s definite drought stress.

KEVIN SICH RAHR MALTING

The company is still working through last year’s supplies, and Sich said he prefers to wait and see what the quality and yields will be from the present crop before looking to buy more.

“There’s by no means any reason to push the big red panic button,” he said.

“Overall, I think if you have quality malt barley this year, there is going to be a market for it. There is reduced acres, there’s definite drought stress.”

He added he also expected American buyers to come into Canada looking for malting barley because of the drought that has ravaged North Dakota and parts of Montana. They too typically contract a longer-term supply.

The market is not sure if Chinese nitrogen plant closures are permanent. The country is a main source of production. | FILE PHOTO fertilizer this summer.

“It was probably one of the lowest prices we’ve seen in the last decade for sure,” he said.

He doesn’t know what to make of PotashCorp’s assessment that prices have bottomed out.

Mazier wonders if the drought will deter some growers from buying fertilizer in the fall because they However, he cautioned that malting barley demand is often seasonal. Farmers who hold onto it too long, hoping for higher prices, may find themselves unable to sell it later.

As an example, he said Rahr usually buys during autumn, but only until it has 10 to 12 months of supply booked. Then it backs away.

“I would just caution farmers that it’s not like, say, other commodities that actively trade like canola that you can get a daily price. It’s very seasonal,” he said. “A lot of these markets usually get absorbed by around Christmas time.”

Export buyers can be price sensitive and pull out when prices reach a certain level, he said, and the Australian winter-seeded crop, which comes out in December or January, can pull on prices.

As well, the strengthening Canadian dollar could make Canadian barley less attractive to some buyers.

Mark Green at Central Ag Marketing said the maltsters that his company has contacted are also staying out of the market.

“We’ve been calling them and emailing them and stuff and we haven’t heard from them,” he said.

“They’re kind of sitting on their hands at the moment.”

He said that surprised him, given the drought reports from U.S. barley areas and the southern Canadian Prairies, but maltsters appear to be waiting for more information about the state of the current crop, he said.

Green added that rising prices for feed barley will also pull malting barley prices higher.

He said most of the barley north of Calgary is in decent shape, and he “definitely sees the market headed up.”

won’t have the revenue to pay for it.

“A lot of people are going to be pulling in their horns a bit,” he said.

Others may want to pounce while prices are low, although they can buy only six to 12 months in advance because fertilizer doesn’t store well on farms.

Mazier doesn’t believe it is strictly a supply issue as PotashCorp sug-

gests. He believes fertilizer prices have followed corn prices down.

Stephen Dowdle, president of sales for PotashCorp, said 2017 has been a year of adjusting to new production in the United States, which has temporarily depressed prices.

Consumption has been growing by two to 2.5 percent per year, but production capacity has been expanding at an even faster rate in recent years.

PotashCorp estimates global nitrogen capacity will increase by six million tonnes in 2017, while consumption will be up by nearly four million tonnes. That supplydemand imbalance is causing the price weakness.

“Now we look forward into 2018 and we see consumption growing more than capacity is growing, by more than a million tonnes,” said Dowdle.

“That’s why we think we’re floating around the bottom right now.”

Tilk said a lot of the new plants, such as the Iowa Fertilizer Co. facility in Weaver, Iowa, are up and running at capacity already. There is not nearly as much capacity coming online in the near future.

“That should offset that (price) trend and hopefully reverse it,” he said.

However, there is still considerable uncertainty about Chinese nitrogen production and exports.

China’s extensive export program is the main reason urea prices are at a 13-year low, but exports have

slowed considerably.

Tilk estimates China will export around 4.5 million tonnes of urea in 2017, down from more than eight million tonnes last year as slumping urea prices and a government crackdown on environmental pollution curtailed production.

JOCHEN TILK POTASHCORP PRESIDENT

“The question is, really, what happens in 2018?” he said.

Tilk said some Chinese plants have shut down production, but it remains to be seen whether they are permanent closures or just a temporary suspension in production.

“To the extent they’re done for environmental reasons and cost reasons, they ought to be permanent, but then again, that may not be the case,” he said.

“The big question is, how permanent are those closures and is there any chance they might come back if there’s a price recovery?”

LENTIL OUTLOOK

FORECAST

Poor U.S. lentil crop hikes price

Australia sees canola wither away in drought

Drought in North Dakota and Montana takes toll on yield and quality

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Green lentil bids are on the rise in the United States as farmers harvest a disappointing crop.

Prices have gone up about two cents per pound in the last two weeks as the extent of the drought damage is unveiled. The situation should also support prices in Canada.

Sportelli Pierfrancesco, a trader with Columbia Grain Inc. in Portland, Oregon, estimates the crop will average 16 bushels per acre, down from 24 last year.

Yields range from 15 to 20 bu. per acre in central Montana to 10 to 15 in eastern Montana and North Dakota.

He is forecasting 437,000 tonnes of total U.S. lentil production, down 24 percent from last year despite a nine percent increase in acres. His green lentil estimate is 325,000 tonnes.

There are also quality concerns because of harvest rain in eastern Montana, where 60 percent of the crop is grown.

“What really concerns me at this point in time is that some of the lentils might be affected with wrinkles,” said Pierfrancesco.

He estimates that 40 percent of the crop was already harvested as of the beginning of August. The colour has been good but the seeds are slightly smaller than normal

Although lentil yields are down in the United States and Canada, one analyst says the rally may be limited because India, the main export market, has excess supply. | FILE PHOTO because of the drought.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said there is definitely reason for growers to be bullish about green lentils because Canada and the U.S. are the only major exporters of the commodity, and the crop is in trouble in both countries.

Slightly more than half of Montana’s lentils are in poor or very poor condition. There is no rating in North Dakota, which is the other main production region in the U.S. “It’s just dismal, and most of that is medium greens,” said Penner.

Canada’s crop is also struggling because a lot of green lentils are grown in the drought-stricken

region of south-central Saskatchewan. Penner is forecasting belowaverage yields for the province.

Green lentil prices have been plunging since the beginning of the year, but they appear to have bottomed out and are heading back up. Penner thinks prices won’t approach last year’s highs, but North America’s production problems should keep prices at strong levels.

The other major factor in green lentil markets is what is happening with India’s pigeon pea crop.

Indian farmers had planted 28.4 million acres of pulses in the kharif (summer) crop period as of July 28, which is a record pace. That is a seven percent increase over last year.

However, planting of the pigeon pea crop is 15 percent behind last year’s pace because of lackluster prices and competition from pigeon peas imports from East Africa and elsewhere. Green lentils are often consumed in India as a substitute for pigeon peas.

This year’s monsoon cumulative national rain total is about where it should be, and the main states where pigeon peas are grown are reporting either normal or excess rainfall, so Penner assumes yields will be decent.

However, Reuters reports that the rain has been erratic, resulting in some areas with excess moisture and others in deficit.

The story quoted Harish Galipelli, head of commodities and currencies at Inditrade Derivatives & Commodities, as saying rainfall was good at the time of seeding, but then many regions did not get follow-up rain or received too much.

“This will bring down yields,” Galipelli said. “Production of rice, cotton, pulses and oilseeds could be lower than last year.”

Pierfrancesco said North American growers shouldn’t get too bullish because India produced 4.6 million tonnes of pigeon peas last year, up from 2.6 million tonnes the previous year and also imported plenty of green lentils, so it has an excess current supply.

“With pigeon pea (prices) being very low, there is no reason for India to go out there and buy Richleas and Lairds to substitute for pigeon peas,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

The Australian Oilseeds Federation’s July crop report forecasts a canola crop of 3.12 million tonnes, down more than a million tonnes from last year’s bumper harvest.

The report said extremely dry weather in Western Australia and South Australia meant some seeded fields failed to germinate and were re-seeded to cereals.

New South Wales and Victoria fared better with rain and crop conditions.

There has been rain recently, but that will not make up for the deficit since seeding, the report said.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecasts below average rainfall in August for most canola growing regions. The dryness is expected to continue into September.

The federation forecasts yields at 23.7 bushels per acre.

MONOPOLY ELIMINATION

Has post-CWB marketing freedom been good for farmers?

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Has the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly really been gone five years?

For such a revolutionary change in western Canadian wheat marketing, the Aug. 1 “marketing freedom” five-year anniversary passed relatively quietly. Farmers and marketing advisers, whether fierce partisans or neutral stakeholders, looked back on the massive changes to western Canadian wheat and barley marketing wrought in 2012 and agreed on a few things: • Access to the U.S. market has become a significant factor for farmers near the border but not for those far away.

• Farmers exist in local wheat markets now, driven by regional dynamics, rather than inside a prairie-wide market as in the CWB days.

• It’s unfortunate that a liquid Canadian futures market for wheat and barley has not evolved.

• Grain companies appear to have evolved a functioning wheat pricing and delivery system, at least in terms of clearing the crop.

• Rail transportation woes were not cured by the end of the CWB monopoly.

• The decline of wheat as a competitive option versus other

crops did not end with the CWB monopoly.

To Brian Voth, a marketing adviser with IntelliFARM in Ste. Agathe, Man., the most important bottomline conclusion is that farmers need to take marketing wheat and barley seriously.

“Marketing wheat is not easy,” said Voth, who advised farmers both before and since the CWB monopoly ended. “It’s a lot more work.”

BRIAN VOTH MARKETING ADVISER

That work has been worth it for many of his clients because they have many local elevators, plus the United States is just down the road, providing many ways to find the right buyer.

While marketing wheat and barley in the post-CWB world is more challenging, analyst Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research said the transition has gone better than many expected, even with the

hellish transportation woes of 2013-14.

“It was a lot less difficult than some thought it would be,” said Penner.

The transition from CWB to free market occurred in the midst of a maelstrom of factors that make its net impact for farmers extremely difficult to assess.

The U.S. Midwest drought of 2012-13 created high prices and strong demand for the free market’s first year, and the huge Canadian crop and nightmare winter of 2013-14 created a glutted elevator system and broken down rail system for year two.

Big crop years created more stability, but now this drought-hit summer is likely to throw its own monkey wrenches into calculations about the true marketing impact for farmers.

For farmers of fierce pro- and antimonopoly sentiments in 2012, nothing in the past five years has affected their view of whether the change was good for farmer returns.

“I think it’s all been good,” said central Alberta farmer Jeff Nielsen, a former CWB director who is now president of free-market-oriented Grain Growers of Canada.

He said farmers can now manage their farms better with the same control over their wheat marketing as with all their other crops, and they can take advantage of opportunities denied to them inside the

bureaucratic and policy-dominated confines of the monopoly.

Bill Gehl, the southern Saskatchewan farmer who is chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, couldn’t see things more differently.

The grain companies, they’re the winners in this. The premiums for quality wheat have all but disappeared.

BILL GEHL SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

“The grain companies, they’re the winners in this,” said Gehl.

“The premiums for quality wheat have all but disappeared.”

When Nielsen looks at his local market, he sees new grain elevators offering him aggressive new buyers for the crops he grows, following more than a decade of grain industry stagnation in the CWB’s last decade.

Now, not only has new concrete been poured near his farm, but lots more concrete is being poured for export terminal expansion and new builds on the West Coast.

That has and should lead to growing demand for quality wheat and barley from buyers who want to

source and move it.

When Gehl looks around him, he sees a complete lack of the dynamism that monopoly opponents promised.

“How about all the new pasta plants built in Saskatchewan?”

Gehl said with a rueful chuckle about the non-existent processing plants that monopoly opponents often promised.

He not only sees little new investment but also signs of fat margins for the monopoly-like grain companies and railways that have taken over the post-CWB grain marketing world.

Where Nielsen sees a transportation system free of the CWB’s costly interference, Gehl sees a system robbed of an important farmer advocate.

Nielsen sees new opportunities and values in supplying the specific types of wheat and barley to the specific buyers who want it; Gehl sees Canada’s traditional quality and consistency premiums disappearing.

While they don’t agree about much on the CWB, they agreed on two issues: more needs to be done to make wheat an attractive option for farmers, and the grain transportation system needs to operate in a way that allows farmers to benefit from the value of the crops they grow. ed.white@producer.com

SOYBEAN EXPORTS

Canada may become fourth largest soybean seed exporter MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he crop year has come to a close, and what a year it was for Canadian grain exports and domestic use.

Records were posted for canola exports and crush.

Another number that stands out is soybean exports.

Once Statistics Canada’s final numbers are tallied, soybean exports this year will likely be about 4.5 million tonnes, up more than nine percent over the previous year and up 18.4 percent from two years ago.

The reason behind the rising exports is the huge increase in soybean production in Western Canada.

Total Canadian seeded area in 2016 was 5.47 million acres, of which 1.88 million were in Western Canada, mostly Manitoba. The western Canadian area last year rose 13 percent, continuing a multi-year string of big increases.

Also, the weather was ideal last year, leading to a record yield for the region of slightly more than 40 bushels per acre.

Without a dedicated processing

CANADIAN EXPORTS TO CHINA LAST CROP YEAR WERE ALMOST

two million tonnes plant in Manitoba, a lot of the region’s production was exported.

China was the most important destination, taking almost two million tonnes from Canada in the first 11 months of the crop year. European Union countries bought more than a million tonnes and Japan almost 300,000.

In this new crop year, production

will likely climb again as national seeded area jumped 33 percent to 7.28 million acres, thanks mostly to a 67 percent increase in Western Canada’s area.

Short season soybeans on the Prairies performed great in the recent wet years. This year’s weather will test the crop’s genetics against dry conditions.

Agriculture Canada’s July forecast, made before the worst of the heat and dryness set in, pegged Canadian 2017-18 soybean production at a little more than eight million tonnes.

It forecasts that exports will jump by more than a million tonnes to 5.8 million.

If attained, that would make

fallen $40 from their highs but are still up $9 over last year at this time.

Heavier feeders rose because supply is fairly light and feedlots are looking for replacements.

Western feedlots did most of the buying.

Forward delivery yearlings were in short supply and prices were steady with the cash market.

Feeders at electronic sales saw short lift times, likely because of poor pasture conditions.

Some electronic sales saw dry lot heifers sell at a $4-$6 discount to heifers off grass.

Auction volume was light as it

usually is this time of year. It is dry in some areas, but there has not been a flush of early marketings.

Feedlots are generally profitable on the cattle they are marketing, and the feeder market should be mostly steady near term.

Cow-calf pairs were $1,700$2,500.

Canada the fourth largest soybean seed exporter in the world, climbing past Paraguay.

Our exports still pale compared to Brazil’s forecasted 2017-18 movement of 64 million tonnes and the United States’ 58.5 million.

Argentina is also a major player but its seed exports are forecast at only 8.5 million tonnes because it focuses its export sector on processed products.

It is expected to ship out 32.3 million tonnes of soy meal. Paraguay also exports large amounts of soy meal.

If soybean expansion in Canada proceeds as Soy Canada plans, by 2027 we’ll be seeding 10 million acres to the crop, six million in the West and four in the East, producing 13 million tonnes.

This would put Canada solidly atop the second tier of world soybean exporters, behind the big three of Brazil, the U.S. and Argentina.

Coupled with our world leading position in canola exports, this new surge of soybean exports means Canada can’t be ignored when it comes to global oilseed trade.

Canada might not have the heft of the soybean leaders, nor the palm oil kings Indonesia and Malaysia, but we have a new, more important status.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICE STABILIZES The Canfax weighted average steer price was $143.01 per hundredweight, up 54 cents from the previous week. There was no heifer average.

The price was $4 lower than the same time last year and down $2.50 from the five-year average.

There were no sales to U.S. buyers, and one Alberta packer bought the lion’s share of the cash cattle.

Dressed sales were $238-$241 delivered.

Cattle were mostly scheduled for delivery in the week of Aug. 14, but by the end of the week the delivery point was pushed back to Aug. 21.

The Alberta-to-Nebraska cash basis was about -$4.75. It would be the second strongest August basis in 12 years.

We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter to July 29 was 47,500 head, the most for a week since July 2010.

Packers are drawing on their contracted cattle, and by the second half of the month that supply should mostly be delivered.

In 20 of the past 30 years prices rose into August. The average for those 20 years was two percent.

If that held, prices in August would average $146.

In the United States, cash live sales in the south were at US$117-$118 by the end of the week. Dressed sales in the north were $186-$189, similar to the previous week.

JAPANESE TARIFF Because of a rapid rise in its beef imports, Japan has triggered an

increase in its tariff on frozen beef, which will rise to 50 percent from 38.5 percent.

Overall, these tariffs are not likely to have a noticeable market impact, given the many dimensions to the Canadian market, but it does point to the importance of having free trade agreements that provide more consistent market access. If the Trans-Pacific Partnership had been implemented, tariff rates would likely be going down rather than up.

COWS FALL D1, D2 cows ranged C$92-$106 to average $99.38 per cwt., down $2.63.

D3 cows ranged $80-$96 to average $88.21.

Rail grade cows ranged $187$192 per cwt.

Bulls averaged $116.60, down $3.46.

The large number of fed cattle available has reduced demand for non-fed animals, but nevertheless, slaughter last week at 5,166 was up 1,000 from the previous week. Also, the stronger Canadian dollar is weighing on the price. However, the market here still has a premium over the U.S.

FEEDER MARKET MIXED Calves were under pressure while heavier feeders edged higher on light volumes.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

INTERNATIONAL SUPPORTS

Ag trade negotiators must uncover hidden supports

W

hen talk in Canada turns to international trade, often the focus is on our systems such as supply management and whether we can or should preserve them.

Maybe it is a Canadian trait to look inward, be self-critical and say sorry.

But what about the other guys? Are they squeaky clean? Of course not.

Almost every country has sectors it wants to protect.

A new research paper says Canada should become much more familiar with support programs in other countries and how they might distort trade.

So armed, Canada could put up a good offence to support its defense in current and future trade negotiations.

Rather than hand wringing over our supply management sector, Canada should aggressively push to get changes in other countries’ internal agriculture policies that give them unfair trade advantages.

A paper with the title Understanding Agricultural Support, produced by AgriFood Economic Systems for the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute, points out that even with advances made under the World Trade Organization and bilateral trade deals, subsidies in other countries have serious negative implications for Canadian farmers.

While the most trade-distorting policies have been curbed, other types of domestic support have risen, a lot in some cases, causing surplus production that is dumped on the international market.

Countries that don’t have the environmental resources to properly produce all their own food still have policies to promote self-sufficiency, creating strains on their water, soil and wild lands.

These policies also limit trade opportunities for countries such as Canada with the environmental capacity to increase food production and exports.

The paper questions the sustainability of

Asian livestock expansion that is possible only with huge imports of feed from the Americas.

China’s past policy of buying local production at higher than world prices has led to huge surplus stockpiles of grain there. It is now shifting to other types of support, and these new policies will have to be studied to determine their effect on trade.

The paper also notes that whole-farm payments to European farmers, which are decoupled from production and therefore not the target of current international trade monitoring, nevertheless have a big effect on production and prices for beef and dairy in the EU. As well, it questions how the EU can increase pork exports when returns to farmers are below the cost of production and its production costs are higher than those in Canada, the United States and Brazil.

It also is suspicious of U.S. crop insurance subsidies for feedgrain. If they are not properly accounted for under U.S. WTO commitments, they could represent illegal competition for Canadian feed and livestock producers.

The paper goes on to recommend a strong analysis of American dairy policy to assess its fairness.

Clearly, the nature of government support for farmers around the world has changed since the W TO agricultural agreement in 1994, but the results can be just as unfair.

It is time to investigate the details of foreign domestic supports and their negative effects so that Canada can argue against them in future negotiations.

As the adage goes, the best defence is a good offence.

SUPPLY MANAGED COMMODITIES

Lack of supply management knowledge is worrisome finding CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

I

f there was even a tiny doubt about whether Canadians really don’t know where their food comes, a new poll from Angus Reid just quashed it.

The polling firm asked 1,512 Canadians ahead of the pending North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiation whether they would be open to a federal concession around supply management.

The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Nearly half (45 percent) said they would consider using it as bartering chip — but only as “last resort.”

Another 29 percent said they were willing to risk retaliation from the American administration to protect the quota-based farming system, while the remaining 26 percent said the system should be scrapped altogether.

“If concessions are demanded at the negotiation table, most Canadians seem quite comfortable with the idea of at least talking about scrapping the system,” the poll said.

So what does this have to do with Canadians knowing where their food comes from?

Angus Reid wanted to know whether those polled knew how Canada’s supply management system works, so it asked respondents to rank their knowledge.

The result? An overwhelming majority said they knew little to nothing about the system.

Only a measly four percent said they thought they knew a lot about the system. More than 50 percent of respondents in every Canadian

province said they knew nothing about it.

In Western Canada, 69 percent of the Manitobans surveyed said they had no clue how supply management worked. Alberta (58 percent) and Saskatchewan (53 percent) didn’t fare much better.

The numbers didn’t improve much in Canada’s supply management heartlands, either.

In Ontario, a staggering 60 percent of respondents said they knew nothing about Canada’s supply management system, while in the dairy-rich province of Quebec, 55 percent said they had no idea how it worked.

In 2016, 82 percent of Canada’s milk production was concentrated in those two provinces.

Angus Reid also found Canadians have no idea what food products were supply managed commodities — with the exception of milk.

Fifty-one percent of those polled correctly identified milk as a supply managed food. Another 41

percent listed eggs while only 35 percent singled out cheese.

However, 42 percent thought beef was a supply managed commodity with another 33 percent suggesting pork was, too. (They’re not.)

Poultry didn’t even make the top five, despite being a supply managed commodity.

Even more concerning, of the four percent who said they did know a lot about supply management, one in three listed beef and pork as goods produced using the policy.

It’s easy to dismiss the Angus Reid findings by arguing that Canadians don’t know what they’re talking about and we should leave it up to the experts who do.

That’s a narrow view and risks ignoring the larger problem: when it comes to agriculture, people simply don’t have a clue.

These individuals might someday decide to run for public office. Some may sit as elected officials now, who are facing pressures from constitu-

ents without agricultural ties.

It’s likely some may hold influential positions in Canadian businesses and think-tanks or work for various levels of governments, while others are raising the next generation of consumers.

Canada’s agriculture ministers and the industry have made public awareness a priority under the agricultural policy framework.

Open farm days are becoming the norm. Public awareness campaigns are becoming increasingly more common. Even lobbyists on Parliament Hill are starting to adjust their pitches so that MPs with no familiarity with the file can follow the conversation.

Reversing the trend-line won’t be easy. It will take hard work, patience, flexibility, open-mindedness and creativity from all involved.

The status quo is no longer an option.

& OPEN FORUM TRADE IMPACTS

COMMODITY PRICING

Navigating NAFTA: the path forward

What is a fair share?

BY SAM GREEN

W

ith the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement slated to begin in a few weeks, the Alberta Wheat Commission has been assessing the potential impacts on the Canadian grains sector and communicating farmers’ concerns to the federal government.

Key to these efforts was AWC’s contribution to the government’s NAFTA consultations.

NAFTA has benefitted Canadian agricultural producers, facilitating cross-border trade and commerce and fuelling economic growth. The agreement has achieved this mainly by reducing tariffs on agricultural goods, but also by addressing non-tariff trade barriers, sanitary and phytosanitary regulations, and regulatory co-operation.

AWC’s primary recommendation to the government is that, at a minimum, these measures be maintained. Losing them would devastate the agricultural sector, especially grains.

This message is supported by simple statistics. Nearly 65 percent of Canadian wheat is exported annually. The U.S. is the largest market, importing more than two million tonnes on average over the last five years.

Mexico is also a significant importer. NAFTA provides the framework for this cross-border commerce, and all three countries benefit immensely.

Negotiations are scheduled to begin Aug. 16. The U.S. will likely drive the initial agenda, and agriculture is a top priority. Two key

Wheat growers insist that the federal government not give up the components of the North American Free Trade Agreement that have benefitted them, particularly tariff reduction and measures that address non-tariff trade barriers, sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and regulatory co-operation. | FILE PHOTO issues, as identified in U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweets and in a report by the U.S. Trade Representative, will likely be Canadian grain grading and tariff rate quota systems in supply-managed agricultural sectors.

AWC’s submission to the government consultations addresses these issues, suggesting management strategies to mitigate impact on wheat farmers, whose livelihood depends on export markets.

Because producers of wheat and other grains are reliant on export markets for their livelihood, AWC supports the reduction or removal of all tariff and non-tariff trade barriers on all agricultural commodities.

Furthermore, AWC’s submission acknowledges the government’s resolute defence of Canada’s sup-

ply-managed sectors, but offers a cautionary reminder that this defence could affect other sectors of agriculture.

AWC’s submission doesn’t advocate for or against supply management, but warns that Canada’s refusal to negotiate changes to this system could negatively impact export-reliant sectors and commodities, such as grains.

At Canadian elevators, American grain of registered Canadian varieties receives the lowest grade.

While Canadian elevators do purchase U.S. wheat based on its quality specifications and pay accordingly, assigning the lowest grade is an unnecessary irritant to U.S. farmers.

Given the relatively low volume of American grain imports and the similar qualities of both countries’

grain, grading U.S.-grown, Canadian-registered grain to Canadian standards wouldn’t negatively affect farmers in this country.

Should this issue be raised during negotiations, AWC recommends Canada’s co-operation with the U.S. Canada can push to make the agreement additionally advantageous for its grain farmers in areas that include improved sanitary and phytosanitary measures similar to those in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, better regulatory co-operation, maximum residue limits and crop input approval synchronicity, an agreement on the treatment of modern plant breeding techniques, and co-operation on low level presence policies.

A modernized NAFTA would encourage economic growth in the North American grains sectors and address emerging issues.

Since NAFTA’s implementation, Canada’s grain system has seen the elimination of the single-desk marketing system, removal of kernel visual distinguishability, and the streamlining of the variety registration system to allow registration of U.S. varieties.

These have addressed long-standing U.S. concerns, and NAFTA negotiations should proceed in the same spirit: to ensure the prosperity of all stakeholders.

Maintaining a healthy, free and fair trading relationship with the United States and Mexico must be a top priority for Canadian negotiators.

PROGRAM REVIEW

AgriStability change less than overwhelming HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

he recent change to AgriStability is less significant and less helpful than it initially appeared.

When federal and provincial agriculture ministers met in Newfoundland and Labrador, their big announcement was the signing of a new five-year agreement with some changes to the business risk management programs, specifically AgriStability and AgriInvest.

Previous five-year agreements were Growing Forward 1 and Growing Forward 2. The new deal, which takes effect in 2018, is Canadian Agricultural Partnership.

Based on the news release and reports from the news conference,

it sounded like the trigger mechanism for AgriStability was being changed and would make it easier for low-cost producers to qualify for support. While that’s true, it isn’t as simple as it first appeared.

First, some history.

Starting with Growing Forward 2 back in 2013, AgriStability program benefits have been calculated based on a producer’s reference margin or average allowable expenses, whichever is less. Adding the allowable expenses trigger decreased the value of the program for many producers, especially those with low costs.

The reference margin is determined by excluding the highest and lowest program margins in the previous five years and averaging the remaining three. Many producers had their current year’s margin fall below 70 percent of their reference market, but they didn’t have a claim or as large of a claim because of the limited reference margin rule based on allowable expenses.

It sounded like the limited reference margin was being eliminated

starting in 2018. Instead, it’s being adjusted so that the reference margin limit will never be less than 70 percent of the reference margin.

Confused? This example may help. Assume that a producer has a reference margin of $100,000 and allowable expenses of $40,000.

Under Growing Forward 2, the lower number would be used for the calculation of AgriStability benefits. Under CAP, the margin for benefit calculations will be $70,000. Even though allowable expenses are $40,000, the reference margin limit is capped at 70 percent of the conventional reference margin of $100,000.

So yes, this is an improvement, but it’s not like eliminating the allowable expense limitation altogether.

It’s also important to note that whatever the value is for the calculation of AgriStability benefits, the support level is only 70 percent. In the example above, 70 percent of the $70,000 is the actual support level ($49,000). To add insult to injury, only 70 percent of any short-

fall is compensated.

If agriculture hits a major downturn, AgriStability could still provide significant support. Unfortunately, many producers have dropped out, believing they are unlikely to ever trigger payments.

No other safety net proposal has gained any traction. Federal and provincial governments seem content to tinker with what we have rather than design something new.

Over the past 40 years, the grain industry has gone through some long stretches of very tough times.

The past 10 years have been amazingly buoyant, leading many to think they’re bulletproof. But markets and weather are unpredictable.

Now is the time to be designing a comprehensive safety net that’s bankable and easy to understand into which producers will want to enrol. Private industry has developed some innovative programs that might be used as templates.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

T

here is nothing fair about farming, especially about the share.

Over the past few weeks, Winnipeg reporter Ed White has been reviewing the post-Canadian Wheat Board era, and I’m looking forward to reading what he found, not because there is anything that can or should be done about it but as a learning experience.

Commodity prices are not tied to the cost of production, with the exception of Canadian dairy and feathers.

The primary producer has always been a price taker. All costs trickle down. Co-ops and other farmer organizations, such as the Family Farms Group, do some pooling of resources to help leverage opportunities with volume, quality and the pooling of production that meets select or premium market needs, including new data packages related to operational history, and in purchasing.

Hog prices are a good example of fair shares. Packers and processors are entitled to their portions, and over time these businesses have been adding value to their meat products with prepared and semiprepared food.

Retailers have been investing in convenience packaging.

Weaning rates, feed efficiency and labour cost reductions are how producers create margins.

We have seen a big piece of the gains clawed back since the near doubling of pig prices from the 2009 lows to the 2014 highs, with some relief in the past season.

Looking at pigs in Canada and the United States, because these are tied at the shoulder, one could suggest that despite changes in the business over time, farmers are not likely seeing as much of the pig on their plates as they might.

The Americans keep great public records about such things. Currently, their farmers are receiving record low money from each pig consumed, about 20 cents, down from 40 in the early 1990s.

A shortage of pigs due to porcine epidemic diarrhea in 2014 pushed prices up for consumers, and retailers kept these up despite falling wholesale costs. Packers were the winners in 2016, but could 2017 be better for producers’ shares, considering that the meat-case price has finally tumbled and consumers are snatching up the other white meat while packer margins remain falling?

More North American packing capacity is coming online this year and next, while at the same time retailers are taking a smaller cut, which could bode well for producers’ piece of the pig. mike.raine@producer.com

PIG PRODUCTION MUST CHANGE To the Editor: “The opportunist thinks of me and today. The statesman thinks of us and tomorrow.” — Dwight Eisenhower.

The present method of mass producing hogs needs to change.

It is time to acknowledge that there are better ways of raising pigs for meat export.

Our local and provincial governments need to implement the necessary changes to have this accomplished. It is recognized as animal stewardship.

Is it just a coincidence that 59 hog

operations in Manitoba have experienced outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the past few months?

As the pork industry endeavours to wash away problems, which they themselves could possibly be the creators of in their method of raising pigs, it brings other situations to the forefront: the mismanagement of finite water sources and the spreading of hog slurry which contains the virus.

I have no idea of how many thousands of gallons of clean — not recycled — water is utilized to rinse those pig trucks that have returned to Canada, but would guess that it is a very high number.

And what happens to that rinse water after, for it is likely contami-

nated with the PED virus. Has any one considered this?

For instance, research conducted on behalf of the Manitoba Livestock Management Initiative has shown the virus responsible for PEDv, is capable of surviving over Manitoba winters in earthen manure storages.

That to me only confirms that all this rinsing, supposedly as an effective tool, is only a limited, very temporary measure, of dealing with the virus for the short term. It does nothing to eradicate the virus.

The virus remains, now spread about, ready to continue infecting when the time and conditions are ideal and appropriate.

I am of the opinion that factory

hog producers must change their method of producing animals or even more serious outbreaks will occur and continue spreading.

But sadly ... logic doesn’t seem to matter or apply to those operating factory hog establishments.

CARBON TAX UNFAIR To the Editor: I thought the carbon tax was supposed to act as a consumption tax. It was supposed to discourage consumption of goods and services that have high carbon content.

The Trudeau carbon tax , as designed, will not achieve that. The problem is the Trudeau carbon tax, as it moves from fuel provider to processor to retailer, quickly disappears into the market price, and consumers only see higher general prices.

To understand, think of the time before the GST when we had a manufacturer’s tax.

It fell on producers and processors. The largest companies had the marketing power to pass on the cost of the tax by charging higher prices. Smaller businesses did not have that marketing power and had to eat the tax. Clearly, it was an unfair tax.

The GST was its replacement. It was transparent because it was a stand-alone tax separate from the market price and could be passed down the supply chain.

Trudeau’s carbon tax, at present, is following in the failed footsteps of the manufacturer’s sales tax, and small processors and producers (such as Medicine Hat greenhouses and farmers) would similarly have to eat the cost.

A stand-alone carbon tax (CST) would be much easier to administer and pass along.

For example, farmers could be given a debit slip rather than paying cash at their fuel supplier, and when they deliver grain to the elevator, they could be given credit slips at some standard rate.

At the end of the year, along with their income tax paperwork, they would deliver the total of their CST debit and credit slips.

At the end of the supply chain, when the consumer comes to choose between product X or product Y, he will see the difference in carbon content by the size of the CST. Tom Shelstad Swift Current, Sask.

Sask. soybean acres expand along with research Researchers look at varieties suitable for longer hours of daylight

TREATMENT SCHEDULE This chart shows the dates, treatment number and varieties used in the soybean test plots: Early May 1 NSC Reston RR2Y 2 23-11 RY 3 Mahony R2 4 TH 33005R2Y

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MELFORT, Sask. — Soybean acres are expanding rapidly in Saskatchewan but it’s still too early to draw definitive results from the field tests that have been carried out, said a crop physiologist.

Trials are underway at 10 locations across the province, Rosalind Bueckert from the University of Saskatchewan said July 26 during a joint annual field day hosted by the Northeast Agriculture Research Foundation and Agriculture Canada in Melfort.

About 100 producers, agrologists and students were toured through test plots during the day.

Bueckert spoke about relative maturity.

“The aim of this kind of trial is for researchers to test, by trial and error, in a scientific way, which varieties are best suited to our region. This kind of test gives results so we can advise farmers to grow the early-maturing varieties that have a stable response in a lot of years, so growers have lower risk in picking a variety and in growing a new crop.”

Soybeans rated as mature growth (MG) 4 and 5 are common in the soybean growing states of Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas.

The lower the MG number, the better the variety is suited to northern production with long days of light in summer. In Ontario, growers usually choose MG 1, 2, and 0.

Because soybean flowering is controlled by short days and temperature, growing soybean in Saskatchewan requires varieties from 1, 2, 0, 00, and 000.

Bueckert said these varieties are called day neutral or photoperiod insensitive, which means they don’t need short days to flower because plant breeders have switched off the short-day requirement.

Instead, these soybean varieties can cope with Saskatchewan’s long days, but they need the right temperatures to develop, assuming they are not short of water.

“The (soybean) crop is actually configured the opposite way round as we would find our cereals,” she said.

“So if you show a soybean plant super long days, it really wants to see a super short day to flower. And so you end up with a very long vegetative stage. And finally, when we have super short days and it’s around September, it will go ‘great, I can now flower,’ and then the next day you have a killing frost.”

Because soybeans like 13 C temperatures and higher, varieties are classified by their life cycle length from seeding to crop maturity and by the overall temperature they react to, which uses a temperature calculation for the season.

The U.S. calculates this as the average daily temperature minus 13 and then adds this number for each day from seeding to maturity.

Canadian researchers borrow the heat units from corn heat unit calculations, which although different, describe the same sort of thing.

Saskatchewan varieties need to

Rosalind Bueckert, crop physiologist at the University of Saskatchewan, discusses what relative maturity means for soybean yield during a field day in Melfort, Sask., July 26. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO have a life cycle shorter than the frost-free period, which equals 112 days for Nipawin and 116 or 117 for Saskatoon.

Bueckert said the ideal variety would be one that would take 120 days or less to mature, preferably 110.

“It’s trying to get soybean to break that one minute mile.”

She said this 120 cut corresponds to varieties from MG 00 and 000 that require corn heat units ranging from 2,400 to 2,500.

“Definitely, you want a variety that has less than 2,400 corn heat units, 2,200 would be nice. In Saskatchewan, you probably want a 00 or 000 variety, the 000 being the earliest when classified in their breeding programs (Manitoba and Ontario).

“There is also a number after the decimal, which is how much more delayed a variety is compared to the check variety of the MG. You can think of a 000.6 as being six days later flowering than the 000 check,” she said.

Because soybeans like water and heat, their yield increases during a hot, wet year and declines during a cool, dry year.

“Currently, yield ranges on production fields in Saskatchewan have ranged from crop failure, 15 bushels per acre to even 45 or 50 bu. per acre. When you have a mild drought before flowering, soybean shuts down to save water and this will delay flowering. If you get a mild drought during small pod formation, right after full flower, the crop can go on hold for two weeks, further delaying development,” she said.

“These complex reactions can then delay maturity, meaning the crop takes even more corn heat units to finish.”

She said high temperatures during pod filling will lower yields. Cold weather during flowering leads to fewer pods and lower yields, while a very early frost could delay maturity and cause immature pods, which can devastate a crop.

For first-time growers in Saskatchewan, Bueckert recommended using a variety from MG 00 or 000.

She said it’s important to use the correct inoculant, which includes using two different inoculants of

the Bradyrhizobium kind.

“It just can’t be pea inoculant. It has to be inoculant specific to soybean. There’s always a delay before you get nitrogen fixation, so you might want to consider starter nitrogen,” she said.

“If you have low soil test N, consider using a starter N at seeding because cold soils delay nodulation and you can starve the crop before biological nitrogen fixation from the inoculant is sufficient.

Seed at 1.5 to two inches depth.

Seed more than 25 plants per sq. metre, I would say 45 to 60. Seed when the ground temperature is above 13 C, at least above 10 C, to avoid stressed seedlings and poor stands. Stressed seedlings can be

susceptible to sudden death syndrome, a seedling disease. Yellow crops may have iron deficiency chlorosis if on high pH soils (8).”

Bueckert said the trial in Melfort demonstrates that there may be little difference in a specific region between an MF 00 and an MF 000.

“The triple zeros are supposed to be better suited this far north, but they’re both day neutrals. Because there’s a lot of ways genetics can work, you potentially still need to have it run in a trial,” she said.

“The sky is the limit here. I think with climate change coming this is a new potential crop here in Melfort. If it doesn’t freeze.” william.dekay@producer.com

CROP BREEDING

How does a plant breeding program work?

IT CAN TAKE

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

New barley varieties start small. The crosses start out as baby plants that are incubated in the field and the greenhouse. These samples were found at the Alberta Crop Development Centre at Lacombe. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO

LACOMBE, Alta. — Selecting a new grain variety is like holding a casting call for actors in which hundreds try out but only one gets the part.

The wheat, triticale and barley breeding programs at the Alberta Crop Development Centre near Lacombe look at thousands of lines of potential candidates to register the next new and improved variety with better disease resistance, higher yields and desirable agronomic qualities.

“It can take 10 to 15 years to bring a single crop to a cultivar or a variety,” germplasm technician Laura Hope said during a field day held last month.

New cultivars are crossed with a steady hand using tweezers to transfer pollen between male and female plants.

Staff may harvest 5,000 to 6,000 lines in a given year and select 1,000 for further trials, said operations manager Mike Oro. “It is all about getting the numbers down as quickly as possible and identifying the plant material,” he said.

The plant breeders also work with scientists in other countries to test for disease resistance. Researchers include Canadians but they also screen for diseases in Washington, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Japan and Europe.

Free Form Swath Rollers reduce crop loss by minimizing the effects of wind damage.

Available in 3 different models (hydrauluc, winch/cable and tow behind) Free Form Swath Rollers are designed to fit all makes and models of swathers. The patented adjustable width roller enables the operator to easily change the roller width forcing the windrow to be “tucked-in” on the ends maximizing resistance to wind gusts. The patented roller is adjustable from 6’ to 10’ to accommodate multiple crop types and varying crop conditions.

10-15 years TO GET A SINGLE VARIETY TO MARKET “If we can start screening for yield and disease resistance sooner, it frees up better quality breeding lines through our programs,” Hope said.

Added Oro: “From the time that first cross is made till we get to this point, it is a 10 to 15 year process with lots of wheels turning and lots of people contributing to the varieties.”

All the plots are harvested and grain is screened for different traits. Potential cultivars are subjected to near infrared technology and DNA analysis to mark the most desirable traits.

Quality is assessed with NIR technology scanning for protein, moisture content and about 50 other components desired in the feed, food and malt sectors.

“The breeders will use it to select screened samples,” said research scientist Lori Oatway.

“We are making specific varieties for specific markets, so it has become quite detailed.”

Roto-Shear is now owned and manufactured by Free Form Plastics. Roto-Shear owners know that when harvesting lodged or tangled crops like canola and peas, this is an essential piece of equipment that they would never be without again. When time matters most, Roto-Shear has proven itself to be dependable in the toughest harvests, cutting through tangled and lodged crops with speed and efficiency.

www.freeformplastics.com

306-275-2155

About 80 grams of grain are scanned using light waves on two machines that can look at up to 40,000 samples in four months.

Researchers look for beta glucan and animal feed values when assessing barley samples.

“Feed is a huge part of our program because of the size of Alberta’s industry,” she said.

“We have a very strong animal feed industry.”

Her lab can also look at silage and forage to measure digestibility, protein and starch.

On the food side, the centre works with companies such as Sunny Boy cereal.

Barley has an approved claim for heart health, and the Albertabased company wants to add extra beta glucan to its products to provide enough of the soluble fibre to have a health benefit.

Malt barley analysis is done in cooperation with Rahr Malting and Canada Malting to seek out quality attributes. Barley can affect the taste of beer. This is a desirable trait for craft brewers seeking something different but they also want to avoid off tastes.

Brewers have been slower to adopt some of these new barley varieties because they have a different flavour.

“It is very difficult and it is very subjective,” said Oatway. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ROTATION TRIALS

Trials compare rotation length, weed numbers Research studied one and two-year rotations, with and without fungicide treatments, and assessed weed populations

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — Current prairie crop rotations are too short to beat back weeds and disease.

“If you look at our cropping systems here in Western Canada, we are largely a cereal-oilseed-cereal-oilseed rotation in many areas.

In many areas, pulses are an important part of the rotation,” Kelly Turkington, a plant pathologist with Agriculture Canada at Lacombe, said during a July 26 field day.

“From my perspective as a pathologist, it is not a great rotation. Unfortunately, we are not using Mother Nature to decompose that crop residue so we need to look at lengthening our crop rotations.”

The Lacombe centre is part of a five-year project assessing various combinations of rotations with and without treatments to monitor weeds, disease and other agronomic factors. Similar projects are at Melfort, Sask., and Normande, Que. Various combinations of flax, canola and barley were used in single and two year gaps between wheat.

A single year between the two types of crops saw more weeds with more biomass. A two-year interval worked better, and plants could better outcompete weeds.

Fungicides were used at the recommended strength with some troublesome diseases. A longer rotation also gave straw residue more time to decompose to deal with overwintering diseases.

The researchers also used a spore trap to identify pathogens and assess how much pressure is being placed on a crop. Spores blowing in the wind were captured in the trap’s filters, and scientists were able to identify them and determine if the levels were high enough to spray.

Longer rotations and judicious fungicide use is needed to prevent disease resistance to these treatments, said Allan Eadie of Bayer Crop Science during a recent farm expo in Olds, Alta.

Fungicide resistance is rare in North America, but it is important to know what diseases are appearing in fields.

“You have to assess everything about the fungicide in question, the pathogen, is it a pathogen prone to developing resistance like ascochyta in lentils,” he said.

Among the most important factors is knowing the number of disease cycles per year, the abundance of spore production and its ability to spread via wind or in the soil.

A growing list of diseases is starting to show resistance to some products. For example, rust pathogens might mutate and develop resistance to a fungicide.

Other diseases such as sclerotinia and root rot pathogens are considered low risk for developing resistance.

“Even with low risk pathogens, the risk is more than zero,” he said.

This is a global problem. The fungicide resistance action committee is an international group working

The group also ranks low, medium and high risk pathogens and

whether diseases have the ability to develop resistance.

Fungicides are broken down into chemical classes with different

modes of action. Resistance development may vary within a family of chemistry.

“They are not dissimilar to herbicides where you have got them broken down into different chemical structure and mechanism of action,” he said.

“You want to use agronomic factors that use a variety of controls wherever you can.”

Agronomic risk factors include: • climate favouring disease • agronomic practices — Resistant cultivars if available, sanitation of equipment and accurate spray programs, which means getting the most of the application and not applying a sublethal dose. Good coverage is needed with the right sprayer speed, correct ratio of water and making sure spray nozzles are working right.

• fungicide — The use of repetitive and sustained treatments of the same types of fungicide could encourage development of disease-resistant fungi.

The main fungicide resistance

management strategies employed and recommended are: • Avoid repetitive and sole use of the same fungicide group.

• Mix or alternate with an appropriate and effective fungicide.

• Limit the number and timing of treatments.

• Consider integrated pest management with non-chemical methods such as planting resistant plant varieties and better rotations.

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN

AQUACULTURE

Farmed fish will be main seafood source in the future By 2030, marine expert says the fishing industry will be replaced by aquaculture

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Aquaculture is the future of seafood supply, a Norwegian marine economist told a prairie audience at a recent conference.

Frank Asche from the University

DEPENDABLE. FUNCTIONAL.

of Florida said trying to maintain wild fisheries for human food supply is “useless” and farmed fish will actually help wild fish stocks recover.

“Fishing is our last big hunting industry,” he said. “The problem when you’re hunting is you have virtually no control of production.”

Wild fish reached peak production in the 1980s, Asche said. Fish produced at aquaculture operations is now a larger source for food fish, although wild fish still figure largely in fish meal production.

Phone: (800) 418-9461 Email: conveyors@convey-all.com www.convey-all.com

FRANK ASCHE MARINE ECONOMIST

The United States, for example, imports 90 percent of its seafood and much of it comes from aquaculture.

“By 2030, aquaculture is going to be by far the main source of seafood,” Asche said.

Seafood is one of the largest traded groups of food products thanks to better logistics and distribution systems over the past 30 years. He said salmon in Europe reaches retail stores less than three days after it is caught.

Seafood is also defined as an industrial product under the World Trade Organization, he said, which means lower tariffs.

Asche said there are organizations whose mission is to kill the aquaculture industry to protect small-scale fishermen, comparing them to small-scale farmers.

There were environmental challenges to aquaculture but research has caught up to the rapid expansion, he said. For example, salmon pens are about 10 times larger now than they were in the 1980s, Asche said, and fish waste is dispersed over a larger area.

Concerns about antibiotic use in the fish have also been alleviated through research and he said virtually none are now used.

A large aquaculture industry increases the demand for feed, and that puts pressure on wild stocks.

Asche said cultured fish don’t actually need fish meal and oil in their diets and plant-based products are replacing them, which is also good news for the wild population.

Asche said more than half of the veterinarians in Norway are now becoming salmon veterinarians in response to the industry’s growth.

On the Prairies, there are only a few operations producing fish for the human food market while others produce fish to stock public fishing areas and private dugouts. karen.briere@producer.com

OTTAWA — Communication has expanded well beyond the written word to a plethora of audio-visual expressions in a digital world.

Krista Scaldwell, vice-president of communications with Great-West Life, told delegates at the recent Global 4-H Network Summit in Ottawa that those skills are highly sought after in her employees.

She stressed the need for a command of new technologies and a competency in presenting images, storytelling and creating short videos with smartphones.

Interpersonal and public speaking skills are also valued, she said.

Scaldwell said she looks for a social media presence with a professional side that shows what the prospective employee has been working on.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS

A tale of two future ag leaders Mentorship programs designed to inspire and educate those interested in the agricultural sector KRISTA SCALDWELL

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VERMILION & SEDGEWCK, Alta. — Cultivating crops of young leaders and advocating for agriculture are the goals of two growing programs.

Lacey McCrae, 27, a semi-finalist with the Canadian Cattlemen Association’s Young Leaders program, and Kelsey Fenton in the Alberta Barley and Alberta Wheat Commission’s AdvancingAg program are among those participating.

“For anything to progress, there needs to be leaders,” said McCrae, who this 30 C day was volunteering at the Vermilion Fair.

Using the Alberta fair as an example, she said the 111-yearold event exists because of a team of people.

“Without hundreds of volunteer hours, it wouldn’t go,” she said.

“A lot comes from people stepping up.”

McCrae likes to be “a part of something bigger than yourself.”

Originally from a farm near Prince George, B.C., she raises Black Angus cattle and crops with her husband near Vermilion.

Trained at the city’s Lakeland College, McCrae said her career included horse training and agronomy before she settled into full-time farming.

She looks forward to meeting

and creating networks with likeminded people at the Canadian Beef Industry conference in Calgary Aug. 15-17.

If she is one of the nine chosen for a nine-month mentorship, she hopes to work with a mentor to learn more about nutrition for her cow-calf herd.

Her other involvements include the Alberta Young Farmers and Ranchers, for which she writes articles and blogs showcasing what farmers do and why.

“I see advocating as a very necessary part of going forward in agriculture,” said McCrae.

“It seems we have an urban culture that is aggressive and we need to work harder at sharing our personal stories, make our ranch have a personal face.”

McCrae cited her own experience with cattle in distress.

“I wish we could get this message out about how much we deeply care about our animals,” she said.

“I’m willing to be half submerged in a watering bowl in -35 C with a howling wind just to try to save the life of one of my animals.”

Fenton, 28, disseminates valuable information to farmers and others through her extension work as an Alberta Service Board fieldman in the County of Flagstaff.

Fenton, one of eight in a year-

long mentorship, is working with Brennan Turner of Farm Lead, hoping to acquire more knowledge about grain marketing for the family farm she and her husband will take over in the near future.

KELSEY FENTON ALBERTA SERVICE BOARD

“It’s a different way to keep growing with our own knowledge of agriculture and to promote agriculture and get more advocacy,” she said. “It’s eye opening. It makes you more aware of what’s going on around you.”

Since graduating from the University of Saskatchewan’s agriculture college, she has worked for the county monitoring noxious weeds, insects and beaver dams and running events for farmers on concerns such as clubroot.

During her mentorship, Fenton will track grain prices at different elevators and attend related conferences with the help

of up to $4,000 available for such travel.

She will also write blogs, work on improving her public speaking, enlarge her social media presence through outlets such as Twitter and follow influential marketers online.

“I need to get an ag advocacy presence,” she said.

She doesn’t mind the extra work.

“I like to get out of the box, push myself to do a little bit more,” said Fenton, who played hockey for the university team and now enjoys fastball.

The program, which is available for those aged 18 to 35, is intended to inspire through a mentorship and leadership experience.

It’s the first year for the program, which could grow to 15 participants next year.

Kevin Bender of Sylvan Lake, Alta., a director and vice-chair of the Alberta Wheat Commission and member of the AdvancingAg selection committee, said the goal is to train future leaders.

“It pairs up those who want to learn with those who are already doing it,” he said.

“It’s a worthwhile endeavour to help and educate those who want to learn a little more in agriculture and attract more interest into the field.” karen.morrison@producer.com

GREAT-WEST LIFE

“A professional presence is a big piece,” sad Scaldwell, who expressed concern about sites revealing inappropriate clothing and poor spelling. “Written communication skills have gone into the tank.”

Scaldwell said that’s a problem for companies because it reflects back on them.

A resume needs to match your social media information, and your social media sites must be consistent. She said resumes should detail results and what was learned instead of just listing your education and jobs. One example would be increased fundraising dollars from changing a campaign strategy.

“Not enough time is spent on results, what is achieved and being able to articulate that to stand out among other candidates,” said Scaldwell. “If you can’t articulate it in a resume, it doesn’t really matter.

She encouraged delegates to maintain contact with those at the conference because paths may cross again in future. She cited LinkedIn, Skype and emails as easy ways to stay connected.

Search for mentors who can help you develop skills you lack.

“Reach out in your networks to ask who can help,” said Scaldwell.

“The best feedback doesn’t come from friends but people who are truly challenging your thinking.” karen.morrison@producer.com

FARM LIVING UPHOLSTERY BUSINESS

Piecing together the story behind tattered treasures Small town upholstery business gives artist the opportunity to put talents to work while saving items from the landfill

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

GRENFELL, Sask. — Monica Larson likes to breathe life into broken-down furniture.

Larson saves pieces from the garbage heap by using her training and talent for upholstery. The Kootenay School of the Arts graduate spent three years studying textiles and fabrics, which allows her to see art in what others might consider junk.

Larson, who was born in Grenfell, Sask., and spent her school years in Texas and British Columbia, returned to her hometown in 2008 to start her business.

She operated out of a small shop for eight years and worked parttime as a care aid, eventually buying a larger building two years ago and immersing herself full time in Rural Home Upholstery and Design.

“There is such an abundance of throw-away furniture because it’s so easily accessible and inexpensive, but that furniture is often made from inferior wood, like particle board, and is cheaply made so it’s not going to stand the test of time and you will be replacing it in two to five years,” she said.

Larson said higher wood quality and better craftsmanship are the two elements that make older and antique furniture worth keeping and restoring.

Her projects have included everything from chairs, couches and ottomans to seats and benches

for automobiles, tractors, boats, ATVs and RVs. Her goal is not only to keep furniture out of the landfill and bring an old piece back to life, but also to create something for her clients that is a focal point in their homes and full of memories.

I love opening up a chair or couch and finding a little toy or coins or hairpins because you can start to see where that piece comes from and what it has been through over the years.

MONICA LARSON RURAL HOME UPHOLSTERY AND DESIGN

“I consider myself a craftsperson and feel a lot of satisfaction and pride in what I do, so being able to use skills that I have developed through a lot of years, blood, sweat, swearing and tears, and being able to revive an old, run-down, shabby looking piece of furniture makes me feel pretty good.”

She is challenged almost daily by pieces of furniture.

“Upholstery is an endless learning curve,” she said.

“Every job is different, every chair or tractor seat or ottoman is different, which inevitably requires me to figure out how it was sewn or put on the frame, or finished with some decorative detail.”

For Larson, the first step is dismantling the piece she is working on and removing the padding, which can be anything from cotton batting to horse hair.

Next is the re-tying of the springs, which is often the most labourious process and the one that requires strength.

After that, Larson works on repadding the pieces and sewing the fabric together to ready it for the final fitting. Then comes detailing the piece with piping, stitching or decorative nail heads.

One of her favourite parts of the process is selecting fabric and finishes with clients.

“I love trying to figure out how my client’s house is decorated and what they like and giving them suggestions about what I think will work best.”

One of her most recent clients, who brought in a decaying truck bench, was leaning toward allblack vinyl when Larson talked him into adding some bright green stitching to match the restored green body of his antique truck.

“He showed me pictures of the outside of his truck and I said he just had to go for the coloured thread to make it pop and to make it interesting,” said Larson.

Every piece of furniture she works on has a story, she said.

“I love opening up a chair or couch and finding a little toy or coins or hairpins because you can start to see where that piece comes from and what it has been through over the years,” she said.

ECHOES AND SENTINELS

B.C.’s Windermere church has unscrupulous history Church takes forced detour from intended town of Revelstoke

BY DUANE MCCARTNEY FREELANCE WRITER

WINDEMERE, B.C. — It’s perhaps the most romantic tale of love and crime from the early days of B.C.’s Columbia Valley.

St. Peter’s Church in Windermere, B.C., is known locally as the stolen church. In 1900, Rufus Kimpton, as a gesture of love for his wife, Celina, moved it via rail, wagon and riverboat from another community and reassembled it in Windermere.

Windermere sits on the shores of Lake Windermere in the Columbia Valley. Gilbert Malcolm Sproat established the community in 1883 and named Lake Windermere, formerly known as Lower Columbia Lake, after a lake in Cumberland, England. The first hotel was built the same year.

St. Peter’s was built in 1887 in the railway town of Donald, just south of Golden, B.C. In 1897, the CPR decided to change their railway divisional point to Revelstoke from

from Donald and offered to move any buildings to any location along its line free of charge.

Rufus, realizing that his Donald would soon be a ghost town, moved his family 185 kilometres south to Windermere. Celine missed her church in Donald so much that Rufus, with the help of his brotherin-law, J.C. Pitts, stole it from under the noses of town officials.

While on route, the 272 kilogram church bell was stolen by the town of Golden Some believe the pair dismantled the church, while other reports say that the church was already dismantled and ready for shipment to Revelstoke.

Regardless, they managed to ship the church by train to Golden and then by steamship to Windermere where they reassembled it at its

current location.

En route, someone else stole the 272 kilogram church bell, which ended up in St. Paul’s Church in Golden.

Resentment over the stolen bell continued between Windermere and Golden for more than half a century until one night in 1957 when a group from Windermere stole the bell. They later held a parade in honour of their achievement.

Their victory was short lived when church officials at Windermere said two wrongs don’t make a right and returned the bell to Golden.

Today, Windermere houses the stolen church and Golden has the stolen bell.

St. Peter’s Church is maintained by the residents of Windermere and is often used for weddings.

Windermere Valley Shared Ministry and the Diocese of Kootenay hold monthly church services there during the summer months and on Christmas Eve.

St. Peter’s Church in Windermere, B.C., is today a peaceful site for weddings but has a rocky past. | DUANE MCCARTNEY PHOTO

Alberta farm family seeks a simpler way of life Couple launches outdoor dining experience and runs farm and farrier business with focus on natural, slow pace ON THE FARM

DANNY & SHANNON RUZICKA Viking, Alta.

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VIKING, Alta. — Passersby will be craning their necks to see what’s going on at Nature’s Green Acres Aug. 18 when 80 diners sit down to enjoy a five course, white linen dining experience in a cow pasture.

Shannon and Danny Ruzicka provide the lion’s share of ingredients from their own Viking, Alta., farm with other items drawn from nearby producers and processors.

“You sit down at the table and look at the wide open blue sky,” Danny said about the dinners they’ve hosted since 2011.

They, with Edmonton chef Blair Lebsack of Rge Rd restaurant, created the event to help consumers learn where their food comes from.

“They call us their farm and we call them our restaurant,” said Shannon.

The Ruzickas do the setup and offer tours of their half section farm and horseshoe demonstrations by Danny, a full time farrier. Lebsack manages the food and beverages.

Patrons pay for the dinners, and profits are evenly split between Lebsack and the Ruzickas.

The farm includes heritage variety pigs rooting in the bush, chickens pecking in and around their coop and sheep keeping the grass mowed.

Their “nouveau beef,” a blend of veal and beef raised exclusively on grass, graze nearby in pastures.

“The more closely to nature that we can emulate, the better,” said Shannon.

The Ruzickas attended Terra Madre in Italy, a slow food event, which further entrenched their desire to live more naturally.

“God set it up this way for a reason

“Growing our own food is important to me, to know what’s being fed to our food (animals), going into our bodies and our kids’ bodies,” Danny said.

A desire to get back to a simpler lifestyle inspired the family, with their three homeschooled children, to live off the land for a year and restrict necessary purchases to local or Canadian goods only.

That resulted in big savings, allowed them to acquire a tractor, car and truck and eliminated much food waste and garbage.

“All of our ancestors did it. It’s in us. We have the power and ability to do it,” said Shannon.

“We are so reliant on a system where someone else brings us and grows our food. We are growers.

Why aren’t we feeding ourselves?”

The farm’s cattle are born in April and May and receive limited handling and no castration or dehorning.

Their animals are processed in Alberta, providing Rge Rd with custom cuts, and direct marketed to the customers. Any animals that have to be treated go to the auction.

Dogs keep predators at bay, say the Ruzickas.

Danny finds it makes economic sense to rent more pasture than bale hay and prefers permanent fencing to high maintenance electric fences, citing recent lightning strikes that shut theirs down. They keep the creek fenced off to protect the riparian zone.

The Ruzickas also found that selling cattle conventionally didn’t make sense.

“It cost us more to raise calves than what we were getting at auction,” Shannon said.

In addition, they oppose the idea of finishing cattle in feedlots.

“We don’t agree with that, and it’s not best for consumers,” she said.

Danny’s family settled in the Prague community, where he married in the same church as many of his elders. He noted the history of the place, which includes a buffalo

jump and teepee rings. He related how local farmers were paid to collect buffalo bones for bomb-making materials during the Second World War. The decor of the family’s new home is described as “shabby chic” with an assortment of doors and wood features from their first home and outbuildings mixed with sprinklings of antiques.

Danny expressed a connection to animals as his motivation for choosing the farm and farrier business.

“It’s in the blood, the business of it all,” said Danny, whose father once ran a pregnant mare’s urine operation.

The farrier business is steady and involves long days, slowing only in winter, so that means much of the day-to-day work falls to Shannon.

“I like having the assurance that Shannon is here to take care of things if I can’t get something done,” he said.

Danny said land prices are the biggest hurdle to expanding the farmland, which is best suited to raising livestock.

Shannon thinks the dinners, which have grown from a table for 30, have maxed out.

Dinners held within more permanent structures seasonally might be options for increased revenue for the farm and children’s recreational activities in 4-H, tae kwon do and hockey, they say.

Danny said farm and family life offers a good lifestyle, and homeschooling allows for more control over his children’s education by Shannon, who trained and worked in drafting.

“You can control what’s being put into their minds and can choose learning techniques that work for them,” Danny said.

They hope their recently enlarged cattle herd will translate into increased sales.

Shannon, who once attended farmers markets to meet customers, now uses social media sites to disseminate information about the farm. She also uses paid speaking engagements to talk about Nature’s Green Acres. karen.morrison@producer.com

It started with $150, Ernie the lamb and a plan to help the needy.

I t e n d e d w i t h E m m a Va n Steekelenburg’s efforts totalling $4,000 for the Brooks Food Bank and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

That includes the $150 received through the RBC Make 150 Count program for young farmers seeking to make a difference in their communities.

Van Steeklenburg, a 4-H member at Millicent, Alta., launched her 4-H lamb project with help from her

parents, who donated the animal.

At the 4-H recognition night, Ernie sold seven different times to different buyers, raising $4,000.

The butchering and feed were donated and the meat went to the food bank.

Van Steekelenburg’s past volunteer work has included teaching young people how to curl, preparing Christmas hampers and stocking shelves at the food bank.

“I could see what money could do, providing more food,” she said.

“I knew I could help.”

This fall, she will leave her family’s mixed farm to begin studies in

the University of Saskatchewan agriculture program.

Other examples of RBC projects include Kayla Veldman of Stratford, Ont., donating chicken eggs to a local breakfast program at a community food centre and Jayden Buchanan of Crystal City, Man., purchasing a grooming chute and supplies to help educate 4-Hers on beef production and showmanship.

In addition, Hannah Robson of Rimbey, Alta., planned a 4-H presentation at her farm on what to look for in a herd bull. karen.morrison@producer.com

COPING WITH ILLNESS

PULSES

Life after cancer

Healthy chickpeas pack a protein punch

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Our 12-year-old nephew was diagnosed with leukemia about a year and a half ago. We were afraid that he was going to die but he didn’t. He was recently told that he is cancer free. Our nephew has had a different kind of experience and I am wondering if we should treat him like other kids or make allowances for his illness?

A:

I have no doubt that your nephew wants to be treated the same as your other nieces and nephews. He wants to be a kid, to play and hang out with others and be silly at times. It’s a reminder to everyone in the family that life is too short to be too serious all of the time.

The problem your nephew has is that he is no longer just like the other kids. He has had a life-threatening illness. The good news is that the cure rate for this cancer is as high as 80 percent.

Facing death for most young people is humbling. Knowing how inept any of us are when dealing with death and dying is humiliating.

Most young people do not have to deal with death and dying. It is not in their immediate agendas.

They play their baseball games to win and make their way toward their high school graduation.

It is different for your nephew. He is likely more mature than other kids his age. He can have fun but he also knows that nothing is more exciting than having one more day to enjoy his life.

hickpeas, like most other pulses, are a good source of cholesterollowering fibre. In addition, their high fibre content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making them a good choice for people with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.

When combined with whole grains such as rice, chickpeas provide a fat-free high quality protein.

Two different types of chickpeas are produced, each with a separate use. The first is the garbanzo type, which includes large-seeded, ram-head shape, cream to white-coloured seeds with a thin white seed coat.

Garbanzos are often made into snacks in South Asia, ground into hummus in the Middle East or canned whole for salad bars in North America.

The second is the desi type, a small-seeded one with a thick, hard and coloured seed coat from green to purple, brown or black. It is often exported whole to India and made into chana dal or ground into flour.

Hummus is a popular dip or addition to a vegetarian sandwich and easy to make at home.

Use canned or dried chickpeas.

water and dried chickpeas. Be sure the water covers the peas by at least two inches (5 cm). Soak overnight.

The next day, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Put them back in the pot with water to cover by at least two inches (5 cm) and bring to a boil over medium heat. Maintain the boil until they are tender, about 25 minutes.

Drain, cool and use as desired.

Tip: Make the smoothest and creamiest hummus by peeling the chickpeas. Place the cooked peas in a large bowl of water. Rub them between the palms of your hands and the hull will come off. Drain, then discard hulls.

BASIC HUMMUS 1 – 19 oz. can chickpeas, drain liquid and save 1/4 c. tahini 60 mL 1 clove garlic 1/2 tsp. salt 2.5 mL 1/4 c. lemon juice, to taste 60 mL Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Puree to a smooth paste and add only enough of the saved liquid to thin. Serve in a shallow bowl with olive oil drizzled over it. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with pita bread and fresh vegetables.

HUMMUS FLAVOURS Enhance traditional hummus with different spice combinations: Roasted Red Pepper: add purchased roasted pepper in a jar or roast your own. Puree with the chickpeas or chop and add later. Add smoked paprika to taste.

Caramelized Onion: finely slice a yellow onion. Heat a saute pan over medium and add oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add onion and slowly cook until the onion turns a delicate brown. Puree with the chickpeas or

chop and stir in later. Deglaze the pan with a little white wine or water to scrape up the browned bits and add them to the hummus. Garnish with toasted pine nuts.

Chipotle Lime: buy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and add one and some sauce to the chickpeas and puree together. Use lime juice rather than lemon juice in the hummus. Garnish with toasted pumpkins seeds.

Sundried Tomato: purchase sundried tomatoes packed in oil. Coarsely chop one or two and add to chickpeas and puree together. Sundried tomato pesto may also be used. Garnish with chopped sundried tomatoes and fresh oregano.

Chickpea Shawarma Dip: dress up traditional hummus with this parsley tomato salad for a light meal or an appetizer for a barbecue.

PARSLEY TOMATO SALAD 1 c. packed finely chopped parsley 250 mL 1 c. diced cherry or roma tomatoes 250 mL 1/2 c. thinly sliced cucumber 125 mL 1/2 c. thinly sliced red onion 125 mL 1 tsp. red sumac 5 mL 1/4 c. lemon juice 60 mL 1/4 c. olive oil 60 mL sea salt and black pepper, to taste sriracha, to taste Combine the sumac, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and sriracha

in a medium sized bowl and whisk together. Prepare the vegetables and add to the same bowl. Toss vegetables with the dressing.

To make the crispy chickpea snack, preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).

Add well-drained chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Top with oil, sugar and spices and toss to combine, then spread on a bare or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until deep golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.

In the meantime, prepare the garlic sauce by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine, only adding enough water or almond milk to thin so it’s pourable.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more garlic for more zing, salt for savouriness, lemon juice for freshness and dill for a more intense herb flavour.

Lastly, prepare parsley tomato salad by adding parsley, tomato and onion to a small mixing bowl and tossing with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

To serve, spread hummus on a serving platter or naan and top with parsley salad, crispy chickpeas and garlic dill sauce.

Serve with pita, pita chips or raw vegetables.

MARKETING

Reaching distant consumers as easy as following a recipe Saskatchewan farmers learn how to combat misinformation, reach out to consumers with Farm to Fork tour

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

People involved in Saskatchewan agriculture know they need to connect with consumers who use made-in-Canada food products such as wheat, canola, beef, poultry, dairy products and packaged vegetables.

But how can someone reach busy food consumers in Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto or Vancouver and convince them that the Canadianmade food products they are buying are wholesome, safe and nutritious?

You follow a simple recipe, of course: • Prepare a farm tour.

• Add a handful of respected “food influencers” from Canada and the United States.

• Place food influencers on a bus and show them around the countryside, where food is produced.

• Introduce guests to some farmers who grow food.

• Let sit and allow to mix.

• When visitors are ready, serve them a meal in the field, made with locally grown ingredients and prepared by the area’s most accomplished chefs and culinary experts.

• Send influencers home and wait for message to spread.

• Serves the entire agriculture industry.

Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan has been following this recipe for three years, says the organization’s executive director, Clinton Monchuk.

And so far, the results have been positive.

The goal of the Farm to Fork Tour is to dispel some of the myths and negative perceptions associated with modern agriculture and to develop a closer relationship between the people who produce food and the people who eat it.

“The idea behind this is to make sure that people who are talking about food in different ways … (have an opportunity) to understand Saskatchewan agriculture in a new sense,” said Monchuk.

“Give them a chance to actually visit a farm, and take a look at a RoGator sprayer, or a Massey combine, and understand a little bit more about Saskatchewan agriculture.”

This year’s tour, July 26-27, visited farms and food processing opera-

tions in the Saskatoon area.

Close to 20 visitors participated in the event, including food writers, chefs, photographers, food bloggers and post-secondary educators involved in the culinary arts.

Visitors this year came from across Canada and as far south as Nashville, Tennessee.

And after a gourmet-style meal, served al fresco at Agar’s Corner, all went away with a new appreciation for how food is produced.

“The big thing about this event is to make sure that they know the truth about agriculture,” said Monchuk, who farms near Lanigan, Sask.

“There is so much misinformation out there about food and how it is produced, so to actually have these food influencers come and see a farm is very important.”

In addition to touring the countryside, participants also had a chance to speak with farmers and ask tough questions about potentially sensitive topics, including herbicide use, genetically modified crops and the economics of primary food production.

Ir vin Heuchert of Heuchert Farms Inc. opened his grain and oilseed farm to the tour group and answered questions about the advantages of using herbicides on his crops, the benefits of growing GM canola and the challenges involved with making annual cropping decisions and sticking to sustainable rotations.

“I think it’s important to be involved with these tours,” said Heuchert, who farms near Clavet, Sask., along with his son, Randy, and grandsons, Leland, Decland and Ryland.

“I think it’s important to get our message across as farmers to the consumer. These people (on the tour) are very influential with the consumer so talking to them is

really a good way for us to get our message to the consumer.”

According to Monchuk, the disconnect between consumers and producers has widened in recent years because fewer people are involved in farming.

Modern farms, especially those in Western Canada, manage more land than ever and producers must adapt to changing market conditions and rising production costs to stay in business.

New technologies, improved agronomic practices, enhanced

seed genetics and advances in mechanization and precision agriculture have allowed Saskatchewan’s growers to produce more food without compromising food safety or the environment.

“We take pride in the fact that we grow high quality, safe food and we do it through using different technologies,” Monchuk said.

“We use herbicides on our crops, and fungicides and insecticides.

We do use synthetic fertilizers to make sure we can grow a crop but we also use new technologies such

as direct seeding and GPS and variable rate technologies. We use all these different things to make sure we’re preserving the environment and the soil as well.” brian.cross@producer.com

PRAIRIE HISTORY STORY

Centennial trail ride remembered in Alberta Group set out to ride from Grande Cache to Jasper

BY DONNA QUICK FREELANCE WRITER

During the ride, this Centennial trail ride song was composed, sung to the tune of Sweet Betsy of Pike: We started a trail ride from Grande Prairie town, Come hell or high water to Jasper we’re bound.

We crossed over mountains and valleys and streams, We always expected to fulfill our dreams.

CHORUS: Giddy-up little pony through sun and through hail.

Giddy-up little pony o’er the old Jasper Trail.

A long 20 miles that day that it rained, We rode along merrily suffering the strain.

Singing our song kept us cheerful and gay.

Before very long we had ended our day.

While riding along the old Jasper trail My horse started bucking and switching his tail.

A nest of wild hornets we stumbled upon.

I had to pull leather cause I’m a greenhorn.

The mountains were rugged, the climbing was steep.

The rivers were swift and the falls were so deep.

The horses were strange and the riders were game.

From Grande Prairie to Jasper we’ll all be the same.

We followed the trail of the old pioneers, So they won’t be forgotten for many more years.

For this is the year we’re a hundred years young, Our trail we have ridden, our song we have sung.

It was to be a trail ride of a lifetime for many of the 30 members of the Gymkhana Club from Grande Prairie, Alta., who set out on Aug. 18, 1967.

The goal was to ride from a location near Grande Cache south to Jasper via the old Jasper pack trail, one of the original routes to Alberta’s Peace County.

The problem was that the old trails had hardly been travelled since they were used by bootleggers and settlers in the 1920s, and there was no way to find out ahead of time how much of the route was still rideable.

Trail boss Ed Lightfoot was later quoted as saying, “A lot of the older generation thought we couldn’t do it, but we got bullheaded and said we’d go.”

After a year of planning, 30 gymkhana club members signed up, including half a dozen riders from the Barrhead and Hinton areas. Ten packhorses were supplied by Lightfoot, a part-time guide and outfitter.

Riders ranged in age from 14 to 60.

All were experienced horsemen used to weekend rides in the mountains near Grande Prairie, but this was a much greater challenge.

Since it was the centennial year, government grant money was available for worthwhile projects honouring Canada’s history.

This enabled the club to hire two cattle liners to haul the horses down the old gravel Highway 40 to

Muskeg, a small settlement and campground that has since disappeared from the map.

The trip started off badly. The cattle liners had been bedded with sand, which caused some of the horses to slip and fall. A few of the best horsemen had to slither across the backs of the tightly packed standing horses to rescue the fallen animals in the middle. Fortunately, only one injured horse had to be sent home.

Each day of the week-long trip, riders covered 30 to 40 kilometres. The route went partly through Willmore Wilderness Park and included landmarks such as Rock Lake, Eagle’s Nest Pass and Snake Indian Falls.

At that time modern camping equipment didn’t include small, light nylon tents or compact down sleeping bags.

The pack horses were fully loaded with food and cooking equipment, so riders had to pack their gear on their own horses. Most of them used a plastic sheet suspended over a rope tied between two trees for shelter.

War surplus sleeping bags thinly lined with wool were almost the only ones available small enough to roll up behind the saddle. There were no vinyl saddlebags. Unless riders could afford expensive leather ones, they made do with canvas bags, which of course meant damp clothes and supplies.

At two locations along the trail, a vehicle met the group to top up food supplies.

Since it was a very dry year, wasps were numerous. The riders in front

would call out to warn those behind them when concentrations were extra heavy. Despite all the hazards, the only injury was a small cut to one horse’s leg.

Once in Jasper, the riders were hosted by the Jasper Rodeo and Turf Club and allowed to camp in town. Gifts from the two mayors were exchanged, and there was extensive media coverage.

The horses were hauled back to Grande Prairie in the cattle liners.

Most of the riders had been met in Jasper by family or friends who drove them home.

The ride was so successful that a second one was held in 1973. This time there was no grant money to hire transportation, so the horses had to be trailed all the way from Grande Prairie and then back again by a skeleton crew of riders.

There was a freak August snowstorm which led to much discomfort for the wranglers.

W h e n t h e re s t o f t h e r i d e r s arrived, they had to spend a day crammed into the Muskeg campground shelter waiting for the heavy snow to melt. But once again, the ride was completed with no major problems.

There have been two trail ride reunions held over the years. Many of those who were on the 1967 ride have now ridden their last trail, but those who remain will never forget the sights and memories.

As one rider who attended the 40-year reunion in 2007 said: “It’s one of the highlights of my life.”

BIOFUEL

Biofuel plant diversifies into new markets Company shifts gears to target specialty markets as carbon pricing moves toward renewable and alternate fuels

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

UNITY, Sask. — North West BioEnergy Ltd. is moving more into specialty alcohol markets after expanding its ethanol facility two years ago.

Chief Executive Officer Jason Skinner said the plant is selling a range of higher grades of alcohol since it added distillation capacity.

“When we make fuel alcohol, it’s probably the lowest grade of alcohol you can manufacture,” he said during a facility tour.

“We’re seeing ourselves diversify into a lot of different markets both domestic as well as overseas.”

The grades range from industrial to potable alcohol and they are used in products as diverse as windshield wiper fluid, hand sanitizer and fortified wines.

It leaves Unity in truck tankers or is put into drums and loaded into containers.

Skinner said alcohol is a commodity on the world market that trades similarly to grain.

The new markets offer ways for the company to add shareholder value.

The bio-energy business grew out of North West Terminal, which began operating in 1996 after two years of construction.

Subsequent expansions included doubling the rail car siding from 50 to 100 cars in 1999 and then to 150 in 2014, doubling storage space in 2000 to 2.5 million bushels, and adding larger, high-speed cleaners in 2001 for the pulse business.

NWT also is a co-owner of Alliance Grain Terminal in Vancouver.

The decision to build the 25-million-litre ethanol plant was made in 2005 and production began in 2009.

“There was a real move in North America to move into alternative energies,” Skinner said.

Governments had incentive programs to encourage development of ethanol and biodiesel.

The plant could also produce about 25,000 tonnes of dried distillers grain for livestock feed each year, leading to more value for shareholders, he said.

There are about 1,000 shareholders and 90 to 95 percent are area farmers.

Ethanol facilities are able to use lower quality wheat, and the 2016 crop certainly provided the feedstock.

The late, wet harvest and 10 percent of crop left out over winter resulted in feed grade wheat.

“Through forward buying, we’ve covered our production all the way out to the next harvest with spring purchased grain,” Skinner said.

High-fusarium durum was also moving through the ethanol plant.

Skinner said every batch of ethanol is tested for mycotoxins produced by the fungus that causes fusarium.

“Our process actually destroys most of the DON,” he said, referring to deoxynivalenol.

That process is a “trade secret,” he added.

“We’re curious, too, why the other plants haven’t figured out how to do this,” he said. “We’ve actually kept it pretty quiet that we’re able to

JASON SKINNER NORTH WEST BIO-ENERGY

utilize this stuff and it’s been working good for us.”

He also said staff have been careful to monitor the DDG coming out of the durum to be sure it is safe for livestock feed.

NW T also prides itself on its energy efficiency. Skinner said both heat and water are recycled.

“Efficiency is important in a bioproducts plant both in terms of energy as well as water consumption,” he said. “Any process water gets reused. You still get some water that needs to be dealt with, that would be blow-down from your (reverse osmosis) systems and your boilers and your cooling towers.

“That type of water, we have a water recycling system we use to capture back pretty close to 80 percent of it and use it in our plant.”

Alcohol manufacturing uses a lot of heat, and there are steam flash drums and heat exchangers that allow that heat to be reused, he said.

There are debates about the net energy balance of the ethanol process, he added.

TOP: The ethanol facility at North West Bio-Energy is in the foreground, and North West Terminal’s grain handling facility in the background.

MIDDLE: An employee at North West Bio-Energy monitors the ethanol manufacturing process at the plant in Unity, Sask.

BOTTOM: This is a sample of dried distillers grain at North West BioEnergy Ltd. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTOS “I think that modern plants like ours are very energy efficient and it’s a net energy gain when you’re manufacturing product,” he said.

Skinner said there is likely to be a resurrection of the interest in alternative fuels because of the carbon and carbon pricing debate. If the United States backs away from a carbon economy there could be competitive implications.

“When we’re selling extra neutral

spirits and industrial alcohol we do run into alcohol produced from corn, but we also run into alcohol produced from sugar from Indian or Brazil. There’s a lot of competition out there in the world.”

The Nor th West companies employ 55 people, 25 of them in the bioproduct plant. Both plants operate 24 hours a day seven days a week. karen.briere@producer.com

25 YEARS AGO

Farm programs errantly slammed FROM THE ARCHIVES

50 YEARS AGO: AUG. 10, 1967 Canadian Pacific Railway moved a record 450 million bushels of grain in 229,185 boxcars in the previous crop year. It accounted for 56.6 percent of the more than 800 million bu. moved by the country’s two major railways that year.

BRUCE DYCK The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: AUG. 6, 1942 A central committee set up at a provincial meeting of rural and urban representatives divided Saskatchewan into 10 zones in an effort to ensure that enough workers would be available to harvest the heavy crop. Each zone would have a committee that would canvas sources of emergency labour supply and farm needs and bring them together. As well, high schools were given permission to open later so that students could help with harvest.

The agriculture department was researching different types of milkweed because of the plant’s usefulness in making flight suits. A production program for 1943 was also being considered.

A dramatic increase in interest among British farmers in growing rapeseed was threatening Canadian exports of the crop to that country. Canada had been supplying most of the 40,000 tons of rapeseed that Britain was importing annually.

25 YEARS AGO: AUG. 6, 1992 American politicians had been using a report released by the U.S. General Accounting Office in June to label the Canadian Wheat Board and federal government farm support programs as unfair trade competition, but it turned out that the statistics used in the report were wrong, grossly overstating the amount of subsidies received by Canadian wheat growers.

10 YEARS AGO: AUG. 9, 2007 A federal judge blocked Ottawa’s efforts to remove barley from the wheat board’s single desk, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper criticized the board for ignoring farmers’ wishes and vowed to end the marketing monopoly no matter what.

Vegetable growers who irrigated from the Assinboine River near Portage la Prairie, Man., were worried that a water diversion to the Pembina Valley would threaten their operations in dry years.

Southwestern Saskatchewan farmers received a one-year emer-

gency registration for the use of two percent strychnine in gopher bait.

They would also be able to mix their own poison with the two percent str ychnine concentrate, which had been off the market for 15 years. Gophers, more formally known as Richardson’s ground squirrels, had been devastating crops in southern Saskatchewan.

COMBINES

Harvest: the last chance to boost yield Learning where your losses are occurring at the back of the combine is critical to putting money in your pocket

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HUMBOLDT, Sask. — Harvest time is another opportunity to increase yield by reducing what stays in the field.

Combine losses are typically acceptable at a bushel per acre, depending on the crop. The number is more if it is a heavy feed barley crop and less if it is canola or flax.

For every bushel lost in Western Canada, the cost to the primary producer is about $500 million annually.

Like any application of resources in the field, there is an economic threshold that needs to be observed.

Farmers can make choices to invest more time harvesting a crop or choose more acres per hour, depending on the price of the crop or the risks related to grade loss, time of year and delivery opportunities.

However, producers can typically make improvements to combine settings that don’t entirely rest on slowing down to what feels like a crawl when sitting in the cab.

Joel MacDonald, who manages agricultural development services at the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, said farmers need to first find out exactly what they are leaving behind and put a price on it before they start making changes to their machines.

“What would you spend for another three bushels of canola per acre? Apply some fungicide?

Add 10 pounds of fertilizer? Look at new drill? You would likely invest in that crop. Combining is not that different,” he said.

He recommended dropping the straw and chaff into a windrow at the start of harvest and measure what is going on the ground.

“Whether you use sophisticated drop pans or Tupperware containers, so long as you can measure that and compare it to your harvested (area), you can evaluate your losses and make decisions from there,” said MacDonald.

Using a pan is critical because some losses on the ground can be related to shattering at the header or leaks in the processor or feeder and need to be accounted for separately.

Machines typically also have left and right side loss differences related to the way the deflectors are set, and producers can often get some clues from the side of the machine where the losses appear.

There are myths about combine losses that PAMI hopes to put to rest, including that machines running relatively lower amounts of material don’t harvest as efficiently.

Checking for combine losses is a key part of any growing season. Once the amount of loss is known it can be balanced against all the other factors that go into a growing season. | FILE PHOTOS Catch pans can be made from one foot square tubs and mop handles and used to check loss regions at the back of the machine. Top losses stem from the rotors, bottom from the shoe. Side to side can also be looked at for grain-pan balance.

CALCULATING COMBINE PERFORMANCE Productivity is measured in bushels per hour.

Losses are rated in bushels per acre or a percentage of yield.

Dockage is percentage of material in the sample that isn’t crop.

Efficiency is ranked in bushels per gallon.

“It is possible, with a very small seeded crop, like canola, to run too slowly and have seed losses off the grain pan, but that is going to be, like say half a mile an hour,” he said.

“We have a lot of testing results, and 99 percent of the time losses increase along with feed rates,” he said.

“Slowing down usually results in lower losses, but you have to measure to find out.”

A second compromise will also have to be made: either over-process the crop at the rotor or cylinder level, resulting in overloading the grain pan with material other than grain, or under-process it and send crop out the back of the machine.

Discovering where losses are occurring is critical to getting the

most capacity out of the machine.

MacDonald uses a one foot square Tupperware container attached to a broom handle to reach into the bottom side of the crop flow, while dropping the straw, and later the topside.

“Then you can find out where your seed is going when not into the tank,” he said.

Speeding up rotors or the cylinder and tightening the gap will cause more material on the grain pan and reduce losses at the top of the system.

Managing fan speed and sieves will handle the shoe losses.

“You should be seeing similar losses off top and bottom, and for most machines it means you will be set about right,” he said.

A loaded stall test can show how well the shoe is loading and whether it needs to be adjusted or recalibrated or if those sensors are not delivering the right messages.

Manufacturers point out that a quick engine restart with the processor off is required to keep oil flow to the turbocharger and let the non-threshing components cool

down properly before being shut down to examine the load on the shoe.

And that is when producers can refine the threshing job, reducing chaff in the grain and consider cracking and other issues.

Finally, the loss sensors should be calibrated so that the operator knows when to slow down and what is acceptable.

“Unfortunately losses change at different times of the day,” he said.

“Three in the afternoon is different than 10 at night when things are getting tough and you can start to speed up those rotors to keep knocking it out without as much risk of cracking the sample.” michael.raine@producer.com

KUBOTA

Big and orange coming to field near you The new competition in commercial scale prairie ag equipment puts focus on dryland farming

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — Not only are we seeing more orange machines on the Prairies lately, but we’re also seeing bigger orange machines, as Kubota continues making a bigger footprint on prairie farms.

Kubota rented a large chunk of real estate at the recent Ag in Motion show near Saskatoon, which it needed to show off its stuff to the 26,000 farmers who attended the event.

The move from small-scale horticulture and yard equipment to big broad acre farm machinery is part of a very deliberate strategy, according to Kubota’s Don McClughan.

“Kubota is taking the stance that we want to become more involved in dryland farming, so we’re introducing new machines in the hay lineup and the large tractor category, where we now have tractors up to 170 horsepower,” said McClughan.

That will not continue to be its highest horsepower tractor, he added.

Rather than start from scratch developing its own line of haying equipment, Kubota bought a Norwegian company. Kvernaland has been designing and manufacturing high-end farm equipment for European farmers since the 1800s.

After the purchase, Kvernaland engineers quickly turned their attentions to designing Kubota forage equipment appropriate for North American growers.

“Our new BV4580 baler is a five by six baler, and it’s brand new this summer,” McClughan said.

“It’s based on the same design as our other balers, but larger. Five by six is the popular size for big round balers in Western Canada, so we

Stay tuned because we’ll be making more moves in the tractor business and other areas as well where we can supply machines to fit a specific niche.

made sure we had a machine to fit that market.

“It’s a fixed chamber baler that does either net wrap or twine wrap.

It seems to be priced right at $58,000 because we’ve sold quite a number of them already this summer.”

He said Kubota has a full line of utility vehicles that have always sold well to farmers. It recently introduced two skid steer models that are appropriately sized for farm use: one at 65 h.p. and the other at 75 h.p.

“Stay tuned because we’ll be making more moves in the tractor business and other areas as well where we can supply machines to fit a specific niche,” he said.

“The global population is growing, and farmers will grow food to

The 168 horsepower machine’s 5,700 pound lift is the heaviest in its class. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO meet that need, and Kubota is part of that.”

Kubota/Versatile?

It’s impossible to listen to McClughan’s comments without call-

ing up the rumour that’s been floating around Western Canada about some sort of merger or partnership between Kubota and Versatile.

The logic is that if Kubota wants to become a major player in broad

acre farming, it must have a line of appropriate, big-sized equipment.

It makes more sense to buy into a broad acre implement manufacturer, as it did with Kvernaland, than to set up a new engineering team and start from scratch.

Conveniently, the top end of the Kubota equipment lineup fits almost perfectly with the bottom end of the Versatile lineup. A merger or purchase of some sort would create a new company that could offer producers on the northern Plains and the Prairies virtually any machine they might need.

The purchase of Great Plains equipment of Salina, Kansas, last spring means the company now has tillage and seeding tools that it doesn’t have tractors big enough to pull.

“We’ve heard those stor ies before, and of course we don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. Certainly that decision would be made at a much higher level,” said McClughan.

“But you know, we’re always looking. We’re always exploring to find opportunities in dryland farming, so who knows.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

GRAIN STORAGE

Wireless bin monitoring system eliminates storage woes BinSense allows a grower to monitor temperatures anywhere there is internet access

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — It’s a beautiful winter payday. The B-train and auger are set up and ready. The auger is powering into the bin.

Then the smell hits. Next the grain flow chugs to a stop.

“Now, this does not need to happen in today’s world,” Wayne Clews, founder of Clews Management, says passionately.

“All too often we still hear a farmer report that he went to haul out

some grain, but then he experienced that awful feeling around the belt buckle when the grain stopped flowing or you get that foul smell. It tells you that’s you’ve just lost a valuable bin of grain, usually canola.…

“We farmed in Saskatchewan for 37 years. So now I’m 78 years old and I’m out of farming. Instead, the whole family is now in this business of helping farmers manage their grain storage.”

Clews said one thing he’s learned over the years is that most farms are

WAYNE CLEWS CLEWS MANAGEMENT

highly productive and efficient — that is, until the grain is in the bin.

That’s when the level of management declines, he added.

He said farmers feel their job is done if the crop is binned in good

condition. They think it should take care of itself.

There’s no debate over the two factors for safe grain storage, established years ago by the Canadian Grain Commission, said Clews. It all comes down to moisture and temperature. Those two factors vary with every type of grain, size of bin and type of aeration.

The charts all show that lower temperature and lower moisture allows a longer storage time. Higher temperature and higher moisture shortens the safe storage time.

If you read the temperature and moisture on a week by week basis, you can calculate the safe storage time.

“Grain going into the bin in the fall is like a freshly baked muffin,” he said.

“It’s warm and moist. If you wrap it up airtight and leave it on the counter, you’ll get mould in a few days. But if you put it in the fridge, it’ll last a lot longer, it’ll remain sweet and nice. Over the years, we’ve learned that winter is our friend when it comes to storing grain. It can be like a fridge for grain.”

Clews said his family has been in the bin monitoring business for 25 years, starting with the early analogue systems.

Clews crews install a BinSense system on the Southwest terminal near Gull Lake, Sask.

WIRELESS BIN MONITORING » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The next step was digital, with hand-held monitors, which still required the operator to physically attend each bin for readings.

He said the inconvenience of both systems often meant that readings were neglected until better weather arrived. The other drawback was that operators failed to analyze their data.

The latest advance is web-based wireless monitoring, which eliminates the need to interconnect bins and physically see the bin.

Clews said this is about as simple as it gets.

“A device on each bin sends temperature reports to the web, so they’re available to the operator anywhere in the world you can access the internet,” he said.

“We can install just the temperature sensors or we can put in cables to monitor temperature and moisture. The system is solar powered and the data is sent to the web through cellular technology.

“We set up the parameters for each bin with all the factors such as grain type and how many bushels, and then we define what constitutes an alert condition if the readings are outside the safe parameters. The system sends you an alert text message to your cellular phone and your email.

“So far we’ve done about 7,000 bins across the Prairies, so we know it works the way it’s supposed to

work. The system is called BinSense and it’s manufactured by IntraGrain Technologies in Regina.”

He said cost varies quite a bit from one installation to the next. On large volume bins, the cost may be as low as five to 10 cents per bushel.

On low volume bins, the cost may be 25 to 30 cents per bu.

“It’s a capital expenditure, and we think it’s good value,” he said.

“Farmers look at our price quote and look at their row of bins and say, ‘I can do all my bins for the price of one bin of canola or a super-B of canola. I’d better do it.’ ” Clews said canola seems to be the benchmark. Producers equate the price of a BinSense system to loads of canola or bins of canola. It’s a capital expenditure, but is it a oncein-a-lifetime investment? Clews guarantees the answer is “no.”

Technology is constantly evolving, and he’s certain the future will yield up better systems. They have already found simple ways to solve the problem of bad rural cellphone service, he added.

“We have systems functioning

from Fort St. John to Winnipeg and from High Level to Milk River (Alta.). We have faced what seemed to be non-functional service areas, but there are some factors working in our favour.

“One, messaging is not nearly as demanding as voice communication. Messaging almost always works without special equipment.

There are several sites where we are unable to make successful voice transmission, even from the bin tops, but with no additional equipment, they report reliably.

“Two, we have two or three sites where we have solved weak signal strength with special high gain antennae. We think we can work from any site, at least any that we have encountered to date.”

Manitoba to British Columbia. He said the K744 addresses some of the concerns prairie farmers have had with Belarus in the past, especially parts availability.

“The company, MTZ, still brings in parts for those older Belarus tractors,” Douglas said.

“That’s been the majority of my

business in recent years.”

The tractor comes standard with automatic differential locks and partial power shift. The transmission has 16 forward gears, eight reverse gears and six ranges. Planetary reduction gears are located out at the wheels.

The chassis has leaf spring sus-

pension. An air shifter means there’s no cab vibrations through a direct connection to the gearbox.

The drawbar is rated for 11,000 pounds. Oil changes are at 600 hour intervals. A rubber track version is optional.

We set up the parameters for each bin with all the factors such as grain type and how many bushels, and then we define what constitutes an alert condition if the readings are outside the safe parameters.

TRACTORS

From Russia — with power Big and red, but it’s not Case or Versatile

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — There were plenty of red tractors at the Ag in Motion farm show, but one particular red tractor stood out because of the identifying decals it wore: K744 MTZ-Kirovets.

Built in Russia, the K744 was brought to the show by importer Russell Douglas of R.D. Sales in Wadena, Sask.

Douglas, who has been importing, repairing and dealing in Belarus and other Russian-built farm equipment for decades, has been the official Kirovets distributor in Western Canada for three years.

“This is a combination German and Russian tractor. It’s got a 428 horsepower Mercedes diesel in what was previously known as a Belarus tractor. It’s built at the Kirovets factory in St. Petersburg,” he said.

“Hydraulic capacity is 80 gallons and you have your choice of three

RIFLES

Primary Arms rifle scope delivers on promises OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

L

ate in 2016, I came across an interesting rifle scope from Primary Arms. It was the 4 14 x 44 First Focal Plane scope with Orion reticle for rifles chambered in .308, .223, or 30-06 Springfield cartridges.

What caught my eye was the combination of first focal plan, bullet drop reticle, a target measuring system, and a very reasonable price.

At first I was skeptical about the combination of features compared to its relatively low price. Usually rifle scopes like this have significant quality issues.

Curiosity overcame me and I took the plunge anyway. The product took little time to arrive at my door from Primary Arms in the United States.

After mounting the scope to one of my hunting rifles, I took it to the range and put it through its paces.

Despite my initial concerns, I was

Primary Arms has a winner with the combination of cost, features and quality of this rifle scope. | KIM QUINTIN PHOTO impressed.

The rifle scope has a magnification from 4-14 power, which gives it versatile visibility from bush to prairie hunting. The glass is clear enough to make out the locations of .30 caliber bullet holes in targets up to 200 yards.

The reticle is set on the first focal plane, which means that its ballistic measurements are reliable regardless what magnification it is set to. Most entry and intermediate hunting rifles with ballistic measurement reticles are second focal plane, which means their mea-

surements are only usable at maximum magnification.

Once I followed the directions on how to dial in the Orion reticle for my bullet caliber, my shooting groups became consistent up to 300 yards. I have yet to go beyond that distance, but would be confident on appropriately sized targets up to 600 yards with this scope, given the limitations of its current rifle and its shooter.

Unlike other ballistic reticles that show you where to aim at certain distances, the Orion reticle also has an integral target measuring sys-

tem. You can use the reticle to measure the size of game like a coyote or deer and almost instantly gauge the distance to your target.

This setup allows a hunter to make immediate adjustments without taking his or her eye off the reticle and the target and minimizes guesswork.

Primary Arms put a lot of work into the construction quality of its product. The rifle scope has been reliable after several trips to the range in various weather conditions. The turret clicks are a little soft but once the reticle is zeroed they should rarely need adjusting if at all.

A parallax adjustment on the left side of the scope aids in eliminating reticle distortion at any shoot-

ing distance.

Primary Arms has a winner with the combination of cost, features, and quality of this rifle scope.

It was available for US$260 from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. primaryarms.com.

WORLD HUNGER

Foodgrains bank issues appeal

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Due to the wonders of modern technology, Mark Maciek can speak directly to his relatives back in war-ravaged eastern Africa.

Due to an ongoing tragedy, the South Sudanese refugee hears disturbing news when he calls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are hungry,â&#x20AC;? said Maciek during a fundraising event in an inner city Winnipeg church to raise money to help desperate South Sudanese refugees survive an epic famine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to support them.â&#x20AC;?

Famine is gripping millions of people in east-central Africa, as ongoing civil war in the new nation of South Sudan has caused waves of terrified refugees to flood over the Ugandan and Ethiopian borders. It exacerbates a decades-old situation of poverty and persecution that provoked earlier waves of refugees like Maciek to flee.

The South Sudanese event was organized by the Canadian Foodgrains Bank at the end of June to help raise money to take advantage of federal government dollarfor-dollar grants that were temporarily available.

The foodgrains bank is known in farming and rural areas, as well as by more than a dozen churches that support the charity. This event was a chance for the charity to focus its energy on a human disaster that is getting comparatively little attention, even though it is being described as the largest humanitarian disaster since 1945. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can make a difference,â&#x20AC;? said retired Anglican priest Cathy Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians can make a difference, if we act.â&#x20AC;?

Some are attempts at improving struggling peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming skills.

The brutal realities of refugee life were described by South Sudanese women at the event, some of whom saw their children die during the odyssey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scorpions at night ; disease; choleraâ&#x20AC;Ś; malaria,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Deng, a South Sudanese refugee who has helped establish a support centre in South Sudan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worst, worst is when you see the young child, a baby, in a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap â&#x20AC;Ś and then the child passes away.â&#x20AC;?

Deng arrived in Winnipeg after fleeing from Sudan in 1983 and arriving in Ethiopia as one of 23,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost girls and lost boys.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now helping organize Winnipeg-based and Canada-based

aid for her homeland, but with an estimated 2,000 people fleeing per day, and 20 million people in the famine zone, the task is daunting.

The federal matching funding ended at the end of June, but the Canadian Foodgrains Bank is still raising money to help.

The lack of attention to the famine was noted by a number of speakers at the event, and there was little coverage in local media, but foodgrains bank staff and volunteers and the South Sudanese people said they would keep up their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot be quiet if I am here,â&#x20AC;? said Deng.

BAD TIME FOR TANTRUM

BEEF HEALTH CONFERENCE

Healthy animal starts from the ground up Lame cattle eat less, leading to lower weight gain and lost profits

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Lameness in cattle is a painful and costly condition.

Research from the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine found that 16 percent of all health issues in a feedlot and 70 percent of lost revenue are associated with lameness.

It is the second most commonly diagnosed illness in feedlots, graduate student Jessica DavisUnger said during the school’s annual beef health conference held in Calgary held in June.

“There is limited knowledge on the cost of lameness,” she said.

However, it is realized that a lame animal eats less and takes longer to reach market weight.

There are added costs for treatment, and if it relapses or does not recover, it may have to go to market earlier or be put down.

Causes and costs were evaluated working with 10 years worth of private veterinary clinic data and information from 28 southern Alberta feedlots.

It was found that costs were the highest for injury, joint infections and lameness with no swelling.

Profits could be non-existent when market conditions were considered.

“When cattle prices were low, lame cattle are more costly to keep and feed in a feeding program,” she said.

Detecting lameness early on means treatments can start sooner.

However, it is important to notice an animal is lame and figure out the cause so that the right treatment is used, said veterinarian Dr. Karin Orsel.

“We don’t need antibiotics to treat animals that cannot move, that suffer from a fracture or neu-

rological damage,” she said.

“We have to pay attention to what kind of lameness we are dealing with.”

A lame animal can be detected by a bobbing head, altered ear position or a painful facial expression.

Observe the posture of the cow if possible and compare the left and right sides. The animal may shift its weight from left to right and may not be comfortable standing.

Sometimes the lameness is quite subtle. An animal decides over time to favour one leg, and the injured muscles deteriorate.

Look for swelling and wounds, especially after injuries.

Toe touching is seen when the animal touches the ground with the toe rather than bear ing weight on the leg.

“By the time they are reluctant to move, by the time they can’t get up, it is too late,” she said.

Cows that cannot move may have: • fracture • injury • nerve damage • muscle damage • ruptured gastrocnemius tendon, an inflammation or degeneration of the tendon at the back of the knee Feedlot records have shown that fall placed cattle seem more susceptible to foot rot, and steers are more often affected than heifers.

There are other conditions that result in lameness.

“They try to hide it, but we have to be smart enough to pick up subtle signs to really diagnose pain and with that, potential lameness,” Orsel said.

Mycoplasma arthritis is common in feedlots and cow-calf operations. It is often discovered

following a stressful event such as transportation or commingling.

Trauma in general is relatively common in feedlots, where cattle are riding others in the pens or suffer from a handling injury.

Heavier cattle are more susceptible to trauma.

An abnormal stance of the limb may be the result of nerve damage or severe ligament injuries.

Nerve injury may be seen in large newborn calves, especially if unusual force was used during an assisted birth. It cannot contract the front of the thigh because the nerve is damaged. The animal needs supportive care and could improve over time.

Foot rot is the most common diagnosis in feedlot animals and may be seen more after snowfall when the pens become wet or animals hurt their feet on rough edges if bedding is frozen.

If a foot rot is not responding to therapy, it warrants reassessment because the animal may have digital dermatitis or hairy heel warts.

This bacterial disease is more common in dairy cattle, but there is increasing prevalence among feeders.

Digital dermatitis is a highly contagious, erosive infection that usually affects the skin on the bulbs of the heel. However, it can also be found between the digits or in the area of the coronary band.

It thrives in damp, dirty condit i o n s. T h e a n i m a l m a y n o t respond to systemic antibiotics.

Laminitis is related to feeding a high concentrate and carbohydrate rich diet.

Sole abscesses are regularly seen. They can be trimmed and solved with a course of antibiotics. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

BEEF, DAIRY CATTLE

CFIA reviews outdated livestock feed rules

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is reviewing feed regulations for beef and dairy cattle.

“The regulations we have now date back to 1983 and we really haven’t done much in the way of updating those regulations. They are 30 plus years old,” said Sergio Tolusso, national manager of the agency’s animal feed division.

“The world has changed a lot in the last 30 years.”

A comprehensive review of Canadian feed regulations started in 2012. Updated regulations for hogs have been published, and poultry standards are expected later this year. Regulations for horses, small ruminants, rabbits and fish are next.

Public comments are open until Aug. 18, and Tolusso said information on the proposals and opinions should be ready by year end.

The renewal is intended primarily to guide the feed industry when formulating rations.

“Because of changes in genetics, changes in feeding practices, changes in technology, they wanted a bit of a refresh,” he said.

Most of the changes involve mineral and vitamin levels in feed and will be set at the maximum an animal requires to meet its daily nutrition requirements.

The new regulations take into account animal type, weather, reproduction stage, lactation and type of forages and grains that are available when considering overall nutritional intake.

The old regulations did not consider forage and instead focused on prepared feed. Consequently, animals could end up with excess vitamins and minerals in the diet. These could be harmful to the cattle or people consuming meat and milk.

In other cases animals excrete excess vitamins and minerals through their urine and feces and result in an environmental risk.

ANTIBIOTIC USE

Antibiotic alternatives costly on all fronts: expert Beef chair says pressure to eliminate antibiotics would reduce producer profits, increase food prices and cause food insecurity

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Alternatives to conventional antibiotics for livestock are being researched on many fronts, but none deliver the same bang for the buck.

“There isn’t any yet that is as good as conventional antibiotics,” Agriculture Canada researcher Trevor Alexander said at the recent University of Calgary beef health conference.

There are also consequences for cutting back on antimicrobials to treat illness.

“Livestock producers would have loss of profitability and consumers could see an increase in food prices and a decrease of food security and there could be an erosion of animal welfare,” he said.

JOHN MCKINNON BEEF CHAIR

There is increasing pressure to end the use of growth promoting hormones in beef production, but John McKinnon, beef chair at the University of Saskatchewan, said the consequences wouldn’t be desirable.

“To produce the same amount of beef we are going to have to have more cattle and longer feeding

periods and a greater environmental footprint,” he said.

“If we are going down this road of giving up these technologies, we certainly have to have alternatives in terms of improving productivity.”

Scientists are examining possible substitutes for antimicrobials as the public grows more alarmed about the risk of transferring antibiotic resistant bacteria from animals to people.

Alexander started to study the issue at the federal research centre in Lethbridge in 2008.

At the time, less than one percent of bacteria found in feedlot calves were resistant to the active ingredient in Draxxin, a common treatment for bovine respiratory disease. However, increasing resistance had been detected in Alberta feedlots by 2015-16.

In the United States, resistance has been found to 10 antibiotics used to treat BRD. Most alternative products are feed additives to enhance digestibility and growth, said Alexander.

Scientists are studying plant compounds such as tannins, saponins and essential oils and live organisms such as probiotics and feed enzymes.

However, highly variable results were reported under test conditions, and no real improvement in performance has been found.

Probiotics introduced to the rumen to enhance digestion are not highly effective because they need to compete with a broad variety of effective micro-organisms.

Probiotics may need to be introduced to perform secondary functions such as lactic acid reduction

in animals that eat high grain diets.

Feed enzymes have the potential to improve digestibility, but responses have been variable.

There is increasing interest in finding a way to bind an enzyme to bacillus spores to see if there is an improvement in digestibility because they seem to be able to survive the rumen environment.

There are a lot of alternatives that have been proposed to mitigate pathogens, but not very many of them have been investigated in live animals and even fewer have been investigated in cattle.

TREVOR ALEXANDER RESEARCHER

“There are a lot of alternatives that have been proposed to mitigate pathogens, but not very many of them have been investigated in live animals and even fewer have been investigated in cattle,” Alexander said.

Treating BRD with probiotics is also under review.

The upper respiratory tract is a reservoir of a long list of pathogens that can cause infection under the right conditions.

A lot of antibiotic use is intended to stop the process of infection in the upper tract and prevent it from reaching the lower respiratory tract.

“The microbiota of the respiratory tract probably acts as a gatekeeper and provides resistance to

colonization by respiratory pathogens,” he said.

Scientists at Lethbridge are looking at producing nasal probiotics to control diseases such as BRD. Improved management is another way to reduce antibiotic use.

Preconditioning calves with vaccinations and low stress handling can be successful, and evidence shows that these animals are less likely to develop respiratory disease later in life.

The adoption of alternatives to growth promoting antibiotics and hormone implants, beta agonists, estrus suppressants and ionophores may force producers to give up feed efficiency and face an increased risk of disease, said McKinnon.

Current growth promoting technology is highly effective and when used responsibly leads to production of safe beef in a sustainable manner, he said.

Despite significant research into alternatives, there are no silver bullets on the horizon to replace current technology and still provide the same levels of efficiency.

Replacements such as garlic, juniper berry and essential oils derived from coriander, rosemary and cinnamon may also offer antimicrobial benefits so that healthier animals may grow better.

A cinnamon byproduct had no effect over an entire feeding period experiment, but there was an improvement in feed intake in the first 21 days of the trial. McKinnon said that is the period when it is hard to get calves eating while arriving at a feedlot, so this may help.

Enzymes have a variable response in beef and dairy cattle. The

idea is to provide a cocktail of enzymes that can break down cellulose from more mature forage so cattle get more nutrition.

Yeast meant to stimulate rumen bacterial growth, enhance fibre digestion and feed intake and increase rumen pH may help the immune system. It is widely used in the dairy industry for increased milk production, but response in beef cattle has been variable.

Forage levels have decreased in feedlot diets in the last 40 years. A ration contains five to 10 percent of dry matter today compared to 25 to 30 percent in the 1970s.

“Monensin allowed them to go to 90 percent concentrate and controlled that variable level of rumen pH,” he said.

Concentrated grain diets are linked to higher acid levels in the rumen and variable pH, resulting in liver abscesses, acidosis, laminitis and founder. This can result in poor weight gain.

The last Canadian beef quality audit found that almost 10 percent of livers were classified as severely abscessed and had to be condemned. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA

Goat show pays off for producers

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Exhibitors withstood some of the hottest days of the summer recently to show off their finest goats at a triple-sanctioned event hosted by the Saskatchewan Goat Breeders Association.

The first ever Summer Extravaganza featured more than 200 animals competing over three days for three different judges, and ended with an elite breeding stock sale July 30 when the temperature soared to 38 C. The top seller went for a cool $1,350.

Kae Ronne Extra Extra Edition 507E, a purebred Boer buck kid born in January and consigned by Kerry O’Donnell of Calder, Sask., went to Drew Czerwonka of Glenavon, Sask.

Czerwonka said he saw the sale advertised on Facebook and the buck stood out.

“He’s got a lot of bone to him and is kind of what we’ve been looking for,” he said.

“I think I only bid once and ended up with him, so I’m pretty happy I did.”

Czerwonka also spent $700 on Calico Creek Gun Powder, a pure-

Czerwonka runs about 45 commercial does and was looking for new genetics.

The two purchases were the first purebreds he has ever bought.

“I for sure wanted that one,” he said of Gun Powder.

As for the price paid for the buck: “It’s a lot, but hopefully it was worth it.”

O’Donnell has been in the goat business for at least 20 years and runs about 100 does, along with commercial sheep and cattle.

“It was a good show with good quality animals,” she said.

“I’m certainly happy with the price I got on the buck.”

The buck was junior champion in all three shows, named a grand champion by one judge and a reserve grand champion by another, she said.

The SGBA, the Canadian Meat Goat Association and the Canadian Goat Society all sanctioned the event.

Goat breeders from across Canada entered and were also able to participate in workshops and seminars.

Nineteen lots sold in the sale for an unofficial average of $602.63. karen.briere@producer.com

BISON

Getting into bison farming made easier thanks to mentors Mentorship can be the difference between success and failure for young people who want to enter the ag industry

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BIG SKY, Mont. — The topic comes up at most farm meetings: how can more young people be encouraged to enter the industry?

For two younger producers at the International Bison Conference, mentorship was key.

Southern Alberta bison producer Cody Spencer found his way into the business four years ago through Rick Mackenzie, a rancher with a herd near Foremost, Alta. After discovering a fascination with bison, Spencer got a job on Mackenzie’s ranch and gained some experience with the animals.

In early 2014, he started a bison meat marketing business and began buying animals.

“I can’t say enough about how Rick Mackenzie has helped me get started in the bison business,” said Spencer. In addition to on-the-job training and advice, “he sold me some heifer calves that turned into the main herd.”

Those animals were kept within Mackenzie’s larger herd. Spencer then augmented his holdings by buying another herd in 2015 from owners who wanted to get out of the business. Now he has about 30 breeding cows and about 55 animals in total.

“Now I’m just kind of in a stage of trying to expand my leased land holdings throughout southern Alberta, looking for more grass to put bison on, to expand my grass finishing operation.

“I’ve built up kind of a good loyal local bison meat following and that’s been really good as well.”

Without mentorship, Spencer said the going would have been tough. He recalls skepticism from Farm Credit Canada when he

SARAH GLEASON COLORADO BISON RANCHER

Cody Spencer owns and operates Sweetgrass Bison in southern Alberta. | BARB GLEN PHOTO approached it for a loan.

“We have numbers to show where the market’s at and the sustainability. The market right now is rock solid and it’s projected to grow and even with that, they were very reluctant to give me a loan,” he said.

“I had to find funding elsewhere.”

Whether it’s bison, cattle or farming, however, Spencer said the challenges for young people want-

ing to enter the agricultural industry are similar.

Bison are slightly less daunting in some ways.

“There’s all the same challenges, land base being probably the biggest one. Luckily there’s not as many equipment hurdles (with bison.) It can be a very basic grazing operation. That’s how I’m able to build relationships with people

who think raising bison is a good idea and looking to rent land from those people. That’s how I’m able to do it.”

Mentorship was also key for Sarah Gleason, who started her own bison herd in Colorado.

Mimi Hillenbrand, who operates the vast 777 Ranch near Hermosa, South Dakota, sold Gleason some animals that she could keep for a time in the 777 Ranch herd. “(Hillenbrand) has allowed me to purchase animals in her herd, so during roundup I went up there … and I chose my animals in the herd and took her tag out and put my tag in, so I was able to purchase my first 15 mama cows.”

Gleason pays the ranch a grazing fee for the cows, from which she sells the bull calves for income and keeps the heifers for herd expansion.

“I was able to str ucture the finances and the operation so that I can pay off that initial herd that I started with her, over some years,” said Gleason, who will own the animals outright in four years.

She also required a loan to start her operation but was able to do that privately rather than through a bank.

Gleason is the director of marketing and communications for the Savory Institute, so she is knowledgeable about grazing and the

beneficial effects of livestock on land quality. In that role, she meets many ranchers and has seen the challenges for new entrants.

“You get in this Catch-22 where you need animals and you need the animals to be able to pay for a mortgage on the land, but you can’t pay for both at the same time, so which do you do first?

“Really, the mentorship with Mimi, among showing me how to do holistic management with bison and manage the animals and learn how to do the business, it also allowed me to establish a herd without having land.”

While gradually paying for the animals, she can figure out whether to buy or lease land and then move her bison off the 777 Ranch.

Her personal experience has her wondering how the bison industry can help young producers buy bison or buy land or both. But she has no worries about her venture.

“This is going to sound kind of cheesy, but it’s what I felt I was meant to do,” she said.

“Of course the market is a great incentive. The animals are very cool. There’s a lot of romance that comes along with it, but there is a lot of work and a lot of different challenges that come with this species.”

Spencer also voiced a passion for bison. Though the handling and management of the wild animals may seem daunting, he said that aspect shouldn’t worry potential entrants.

“I think that it’s not as big of a hurdle as people think it is to get into bison and the outlook is a lot better than the beef industry, in my opinion, and so I would just encourage people who are on the fence to just explore it a little more.” barb.glen@producer.com

POLLUTION

Plastic in ecosystem harms wildlife, environment ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

A

vast, heaving mat of plastic bobs on the waves in a bend of the Grijalva River within the Sudidero Canyon of Chiapas, Mexico. The one kilometre towering cliffs, diverse wildlife and thick rainforests of Mexico’s Grand Canyon are just as striking as the plastic bottles and other debris choking the waterway.

This is one of many examples where the waste of human societies harms the ecosystem and the animals within it.

At an individual level, plastic can be

dangerous to wild animals through physical entrapment and ingestion.

There are documented cases of plastic affecting more than 267 species of wild animals. We have all seen images of a wild animal entangled in plastic, whether it is a bear cub with its head stuck in a jar or turtles and birds in a six-pack plastic ring. These individual animals surely suffer greatly, making plastics a concern for animal welfare.

Wild animals are also harmed when they eat plastic. One poignant example is the impact of plastic consumption on seabirds, including gigantic albatrosses. Birds are attracted to the bright colours and eat these objects instead of food.

Many die from starvation and blocked digestive tracts.

Fish and sea turtles suffer similar fates. Marine mammals including whales and dolphins also die from swallowing plastic.

Less striking but probably more serious is the issue of microplastics. Large pieces of plastic are broken down by physical means (imagine waves crashing plastic against a rocky shore) and ultraviolet light from the sun. This creates increasingly smaller pieces of plastic, eventually so small that they are not visible to the naked eye — microplastics are less than five micrometres in diameter. Microplastics are ingested by some of the smallest forms of sea life including oysters, mussels and zooplankton.

Once microplastics are in these animals, larger animals that prey upon them may also get a dose.

As plastics work through the food chain, even the fish that people eat may contain microplastics.

There are also unseen consequences of plastic-associated toxins on the health of animals.

Ingested plastics and also plastics

battered by the elements and sun release a slew of toxins. Plastic associated toxins can accumulate in waterways, harming fish and other animals. These toxins can affect growth, reproductive and thyroid hormones. At a population level, these less visible impacts may be the most substantial.

It is easy to point a finger at the Mexican government and suggest that they do a better job of cleaning the river. But that would miss the upstream contribution to the problem — that people continue to use and toss single-use plastic containers and these end up choking rivers and eventually end up in the ocean.

In Canada, we are not often confronted with the images of our throw-away society, plastics included. The plastic in this Mexican National Park represented a proverbial drop in the bucket compared to the vast quantities accu-

mulated in oceans and landfills.

The onus is on us as individuals to take steps to reduce plastic waste.

A few places to start include eliminating the use of disposable plastics like balloons, dishes, straws, bottles and bags.

Try reusable versions instead.

Recycle the plastic that you do use. Support businesses that limit their use of plastics and those that actively recycle.

While it is a privilege to visit one of the most beautiful natural areas in the world, it is also a reminder that we all need to do our part to reduce our impact on the environment and wild animals. That includes less plastic.

Farm succession: how to start well, with your first family meeting

EAST-CENTRAL

Transitioning a farm or ranch operation from one generation to another takes time.

An initial family meeting will help set you up for success. Here are some tips.

■ Desiccation of pulses has begun in some fields, and crop yields will range from average to below average.

■ Small amounts of precipitation fell with most crop damage from heat stress, lack of moisture, hail and insects.

Set a date. Instead of discussing succession informally at family gatherings or around the dinner table, schedule a one- to two-hour meeting at a neutral location for a specific date and time.

Invite all stakeholders. Who attends? Every family member with a stake in the future of the operation, whether or not they’re actively involved.

Keep it achievable. You’ll have several meetings during this process. Setting a realistic agenda will help keep plans and people on track.

Get everyone’s expectations on the table. Each participant should make clear what they expect to be doing after the succession. Be specific.

Write it all down. Take notes to capture what was discussed and, if anything, agreed to.

Circulate the notes after the meeting to keep everyone informed (and accountable).

■ Some alfalfa seed crops have aphids and lygus bugs and second and third spraying is underway.

■ Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated 31 percent adequate, 46 percent short and 22 percent very short, while hayland and pastures are 22 percent adequate, 53 percent short and 25 percent very short.

A new storage and mustering site will accommodate 300 rail cars by the end of this month when Alberta Midland Railway Terminal Ltd. opens its first phase in Lamont County northeast of Edmonton.

And by this fall, likely sometime in October, the new terminal will have an 850-rail car capacity to serve private fleet owners and rail shippers.

“Our phase one, we’re doing rail car storage, mostly for the energy companies that surround Alberta’s industrial heartland, but I see us also providing storage services to ag companies,” said president Darcy Heggie.

“My background is agriculture and agribusiness, so we are working hard on development initiatives involving agriculture and we hope to see those come to fruition here in the next year or two.”

Heggie and his father, R.K. Heggie, are the founders of AMRT, along with former Canadian Pacific Railway general manager Shawn I. Smith.

R.K. Heggie Grain Ltd. operates Transmark, a multi-modal rail transfer and storage facility near Lethbridge. Smith has an executive position with Northern Plains Railroad, a North Dakota short line, which is a strategic partner in the AMRT venture.

Also involved is Dominion Railway Services, which provides

industrial and yard track designs, rail network capacity and operations planning.

The AMRT project will cost $35 to $40 million, said Heggie.

“We’re still figuring out the model, but it’s a great area for production,” he said.

“I guess the other thing to note is a vast majority of our shareholder base come from Alberta and agriculture backgrounds. It’s something we’re proud of and something we’ll try to capitalize on.”

The project, 5.5 kilometres from the town of Lamont, sits near the Canadian National Railway prairie north line with a quarter section plus another 27 acres of space. It will accommodate about 48,000 feet of tracks designed for empty

rail car storage. Another 12,000 feet will be used for switching and temporary storage. A small on-site repair area is also part of the plan.

As well, AMRT has property along the nearby CP line to the north of the CN site and intends to have assets operating on both rail lines in the future.

Heggie said Lamont County has been helpful with permits and stakeholder relations for the project and is “very forward-thinking” in its approach.

“The county, I think they see the value of energy development but also respect where agriculture has got them and what the future of agriculture can bring to the county.” barb.glen@producer.com

Saputo posts Bunge hopes market rebound will keep company off auction block highter profit FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

(Reuters) — Bunge Ltd. kept the door open last week to a sale of the company as it reported a 34 percent drop in quarterly earnings and cut its full-year outlook.

However, its chief executive officer predicted a grain market rebound that would reverse the slide.

Soren Schroder said planned cost cuts should also help improve performance by the agricultural commodities trader after its second straight weak quarterly result.

When analysts on a conference call asked whether selling the com-

pany was an option, Schroder said Bunge would “evaluate the best path.”

He forecasted a turnaround in agricultural commodities markets that have burdened Bunge and the broader grain trading industry for more than two years with a string of huge global harvests and record supplies.

“Global corn stocks, while ample, are going down. Wheat stocks are going down. Soybean stocks, depending on how the U.S. crop comes out, probably have peaked,” Schroder said in an interview.

“You’re setting yourself up for a rebound.”

However, analysts, some of whom have cut outlooks for Bunge, were skeptical of an imminent recovery.

“That’s been a common refrain for the last several quarters among agribusiness companies, yet we

FROM LAST YEAR

continue to see downward earnings revisions,” said Farha Aslam, an analyst with Stephens Inc. Bunge slashed its full-year agribusiness earnings target to US$550-$650 million from $800$925 million in the first quarter, and its food and ingredients target to $210-$230 million from $245$265 million. Both were cut for a second straight quarter.

Net income available to shareholders fell to $72 million, or 51 cents per share, in the quarter, from $109 million, or 78 cents per share, a year earlier.

(Reuters) — Saputo Inc., one of Canada’s largest dairy processors, boosted its dividend and reported a larger quarterly profit last week, citing higher year-over-year dairy prices.

The dividend will edge up to 16 cents per share from 15 cents, payable Sept. 15.

For its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, net income rose 13 percent to $200.3 million, or 51 cents a share, from $176.7 million, or 44 cents, a year earlier.

Revenue rose 9.9 percent to $2.9 billion.

MENTAL HEALTH

Feeling stressed? How to cope with the pressures of farming PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

T

here are numerous indicators showing that changes are happening in farm business management. Nothing too surprising about that.

I experienced one recently when I had the opportunity to facilitate a peer group meeting. There were 12 people: some younger, others seasoned, representing eight farms.

The change that I witnessed was the willingness of those at the meeting to take time during a busy season to focus discussion on farm management.

This would have been very unusual not that many years ago.

The discussion was wide ranging with one topic being particularly of interest as we enter a busy harvest season although the issue exists throughout the year: how do people deal with stress?

First, there was consensus within the group that stress can be a real issue. Here are some of the comments: • Farmers with a strong agronomy background are trained to see the problems, the insects and disease, which can increase their stress levels. The field might be very good but they can get fixated on the problems. There’s a saying that perfection is the enemy of good enough. The challenge for all of us is finding an acceptable “good enough.”

• The younger participants acknowledged that the obligation (perceived or real) to do what the previous generation did adds to the pressure at times.

They commented that, while this was a reality for many, they were of the collective mindset that they had to do things in a way that worked for them.

• Twitter and social media can add stress, especially when someone is having a challenging day and not getting as much done as they “should” be getting done. For example, the drill being used should be able to seed more than 200 acres a day, but for whatever reason, only 100 acres got seeded. Now you read on Twitter that others got 250 acres done.

• Phones “on” or “off ” got some discussion, although most in attendance left their phones on.

I’ve talked to many farm families about this and have found few who turn phones off at a certain time. The general comment is that it helps to separate “personal/family” from the “business,” although it takes some getting used to and that there can be issues with it. Obviously, there are no perfect solutions.

• A comment about capitalization and stress garnered quite a bit of discussion. Some said they were carrying excess seeding and harvesting equipment to compensate for shorter seasons because of weather events. This helped with stress levels associated with production challenges but could

GETTY ILLUSTRATION

on the other hand contribute to financial stress, especially if the additional equipment included more debt.

• Of course, everyone agreed that

there is stress associated with accountability and decisionmaking. However, this comes with the territory and becomes a real concern only when it starts

to negatively affect productivity.

• Many suggested time away from the farm helped to manage stress.

However, there was an identified feeling of guilt associated with being away while others were working or situations where their absence meant things weren’t getting done. One comment was that it was important to keep things in perspective and time away more than compensated for work not getting done.

Second, they agreed there were no magic solutions. Everyone experienced stress. It’s unavoidable.

The one common comment was about the benefit of communication in dealing with the pressures of owning and managing a farm.

Sometimes it is difficult to do, but

when achieved, purposeful communication helps when dealing with the issues and challenges associated with farming, which in turn helps in managing stress levels.

REWRITING THE BOOK ON

BRD TREATMENT Zelnate™ DNA Immunostimulant is a new chapter in BRD management.

Zelnate is the first licensed DNA immunostimulant that aids in the treatment of BRD associated with Mannheimia haemolytica. By jumpstarting the innate immune system — which has been shown to provide a rapid, potent and broad protective response to infectious agents — Zelnate helps reduce lung lesions and mortality in cattle. Administer Zelnate at the time of, or within 24 hours after, a perceived stressful event.
